Transportation Systems Engineering Theory and Methods

This book provides a systematic and rigorous presentation of the theory of transportation systems and of the main methodologies for its application to transportation system engineering. Topics are presented with an increasing level of detail and complexity. Different selections of subjects can be used as the basis for undergraduate and postgraduate courses in transportation system engineering as well as economics and regional sciences. Audience: Academic researchers, workers of federal and governmental agencies, consultants and professionals involved in transportation modeling and planning. Academic and Technical libraries. 'This book provides a rigorous and comprehensive coverage of transportation models and planning methods and is a must-have to anyone in the transportation community, including students, teachers, and practitioners.' Moshe Ben-Akiva, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Edmund K. Turner Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Director, Intelligent Transportation Systems. 'This book excels in a modern, timely and up-to-date presentation of models used in transportation planning and analysis. It also has the merit of covering both demand modeling and network modeling. It is likely to be an excellent text for teaching and research purposes.' Michael Florian Dr. Eng. Sc., Professor, MRSC (Member of the Royal Society of Canada).Cascetta, Ennio is the author of 'Transportation Systems Engineering Theory and Methods', published 2001 under ISBN 9780792367925 and ISBN 0792367928.
