HANDBOOK OF TRANSPORTATION SCIENCE
Ouvrage 9780792385875 : HANDBOOK OF TRANSPORTATION SCIENCE
Over the past thirty-five years, a tremendous body
of both theoretical and empirical
research has been established on the `science of
transportation'. The Handbook of
Transportation Science has collected and
synthesized this research into a systematic
treatment of this field covering its fundamental
concepts, methods, and principles. The
purpose of this handbook is to define
transportation as a scientific discipline that
transcends transportation technology and methods.
Whether by car, truck, airplane -- or by
a mode of transportation that has not yet been
conceived -- transportation obeys
fundamental properties. The science of
transportation defines these properties, and
demonstrates how our knowledge of one mode of
transportation can be used to explain the
behavior of another. Transportation scientists are
motivated by the desire to explain spatial
interactions that result in movement of people or
objects from place to place. Its
methodologies draw from physics, operations
research, probability and control theory. It is
fundamentally a quantitative discipline, relying on
mathematical models and optimization
algorithms to explain the phenomena of
transportation. The fourteen chapters in the
handbook are written by the leading researchers in
transportation science in an effort to
define and categorize for the first time the
scientific nature and state of the art of the field.
As such, it is directed to the broader research
community, transportation practitioners, and
future transportation scientists.
