This very interesting book provides an excellent multi-disciplinary
introduction into the functioning of transport systems and the
interaction with their environments.' - Erik Verhoef, VU University
Amsterdam, The Netherlands'The editors of this important book have
clearly identified that few writings on transport treat the
transport system as a whole. Implicit in this is a need for a
genuinely multidisciplinary approach. An impressive list of
contributors ensures that the book draws on the latest research
whilst providing new insights into some of the key challenges
facing transport students and researchers, transport providers and
policy makers.' - Roger Vickerman, University of Kent, UK 'Since
ancient times transportation has brought our world together. But
the need for connectivity and accessibility in a spatially
differentiated world has prompted the emergence of very complex
transportation systems. This book offers a fresh and operational
contribution to a better understanding of the complexity and
manageability of a mobile world, by addressing in a balanced way
both conceptual and applied or policy aspects of modern
transportation systems.' - Peter Nijkamp, Free University of
Amsterdam, The Netherlands Transport impacts on people and
businesses in many different ways, and presents some of the key
problems that decision-makers need to address. This comprehensive
textbook introduces the transport system in a holistic and
multidisciplinary way, bringing together the myriad components of
transport. This textbook is written for an international readership
of undergraduate and postgraduate students in transport and related
subjects, as well as for professionals and policy decision-makers
across both public and private sectors. Key features include: -
Discussion of the importance of transport accessibility and the
impacts of transport on the environment and safety - Policy issues
relating to all of the discussed issues and prescribed future
options. - Transport evaluation methods and modelling approaches. -
Examples to highlight the linkages between components of the
transport system for example infrastructures, land-use, vehicle
technologies - and the relevance of these linkages for decision
making. Contributors include: J.A. Annema, D. Banister, M. Dijst,
