Brother of the Back Way
Rambling along in his last-of-a-kind car that feels held together by the worn hooks and twine fishing stories that clench us tight like a fist in a once-upon-a-time smooth hand. Soon my mind bobbles along the ridge of the worn leather seat. Cane Run, Clark's Run, Hanging Fork, Redbird River, Wolf Run, waterways that people traveled down before any of the great four- laners came to be.

Literature review and comparative analysis of inland waterways transport: “Container on Barge”
Container on Barge (COB) facilitates intermodal transportation by transporting shipping containers on barge tows. COB has seen rapid expansion globally over the past 20 years, providing a cost-efficient, environmentally friendly, and congestion-reducing mode of container transportation. European countries have led COB transportation in both study and application over the past two decades. However, increasing interest is observed in both the USA and Asia. In this literature review and comparative analysis, 135 COB-focused peer-reviewed articles are reviewed and analyzed to systematically describe the development and current status of COB transportation research. The relevant literature is analyzed to reveal publication rates and titles, geographical regions of interest, research questions, applied methodologies, advantages of COB transportation, and key success factors. The aim of our effort is to provide information on various aspects of COB development among different regions in the world and to summarize the existing literature to support and guide future COB development.

Collision avoidance of autonomous ships in inland waterways – A survey and open research problems
Promoting autonomous surface ships in inland waterways traffic (IWT) is a potential solution towards reducing road traffic and transport emission footprints. Over the last decade, there has been a growing research on autonomous ships for open waters. However, applying this research to the IWT domain is not straightforward. The IWT, due to its confined waterways, poses a different challenge than the open sea case. Due to the confined waterways, inland ships face several hydrodynamic phenomena that they rarely encountered in the open sea, such as shallow water, banks, or ship-to-ship effects. Furthermore, the higher traffic density in inland waterways also requires a different solution for sensing and control systems. This paper offers an overview of the current developments on autonomous collision avoidance for inland waterway ships that covering different problems of safety navigation for ship in IWT. A short analysis is presented to highlight the strengths and weaknesses of each approach. We also discuss the current research gaps and what could be improved to enable the operation of inland autonomous ships.

Rivers lost, rivers regained : rethinking city-river relations
\"Rivers Lost, Rivers Regained discusses how cities have gained control and exerted power over rivers and waterways far upstream and downstream; how rivers and floodplains in cityscapes have been transformed by urbanization and industrialization; how urban rivers have been represented in cultural manifestations, such as novels and songs; and discusses more recent strategies to redefine and recreate the place of the river within the urban setting\"-- Provided by publisher.

Inland Waterway Transport in Vietnam: Strategies to Improve Transportation Efficiency during COVID-19 Pandemic
On a global scale, the COVID-19 pandemic had quite a negative influence on society, the economy, transportation, and the environment. There will be an eruption of covid-19 in Vietnam, especially in 2021, which would impair internal freight transit. Restricting road and aviation travel to inland waterways is an extreme strategy to deal with the situation. This paper examines the Vietnam national inland waterway transportation infrastructure, highlighting the outstanding problems. Finally, some solutions were proposed to fully utilize the transportation industry’s capabilities during and after the pandemic.
