Already the market leader in the field, Modelling Transport
has become still more indispensible following a thorough and
detailed update. Enhancements include two entirely new chapters on
modelling for private sector projects and on activity-based
modelling; a new section on dynamic assignment and
micro-simulation; and sizeable updates to sections on disaggregate
modelling and stated preference design and analysis. It also
tackles topical issues such as valuation of externalities and the
role of GPS in travel time surveys.
Providing unrivalled depth and breadth of coverage, each topic is approached as a modelling exercise with discussion of the roles of theory, data, model specification, estimation, validation and application. The authors present the state of the art and its practical application in a pedagogic manner, easily understandable to both students and practitioners.
