This unique guide to urban transportation planning, design and
impact estimation brings together the tools needed to translate
theoretical planning and design concepts into practical plans. The
book illustrates these tools with simplified examples and projects
for students to complete. Coverage includes long-term system
planning and short-term demand management, providing students and
professionals with a basic understanding of transportation problems
encountered in actual practice. Transportation Systems and Service
Policy is practically oriented, examining different aspects of
transportation including the links between the elements of planning
and design. For example, it illustrates how policies affecting
quality of service, fares, investment levels, and environmental
impact interrelate. These links guide the student and professional
from "real life" policy requirements to practical solutions and
presentation of findings needed for decision making. In addition
the book includes examples and illustrations of transportation
design projects that depict how transportation service policy may
affect the input parameters that shape the physical and operational
design of multi-modal, urban transportation systems. The process
shown can be done efficiently through the use of analysis formats
for estimation by manual means or computer spreadsheets.
Transportation Systems and Service Policy will serve as an ideal
design textbook for all senior undergraduate and graduate students
in civil engineering, who have concentrations in transportation
planning, highway engineering, traffic engineering, transportation
systems, urban planning, and environmental planning, as well as a
useful reference forpractitioners and professors in these fields.
