Privatisation, regulation, deregulation, competition, funding,
evaluation: these are all transport policy issues of great current
interest worldwide, in the public arena as well as among
researchers.
In 46 chapters by acknowledged experts on their topics, these
and other aspects of transport policy and planning are addressed in
this, the sixth Handbook in Transport. The work is organised into
sections covering:
- Institutional Settings and Markets
- Planning Perspectives
- Asset Management and Funding
- Regulatory Issues
- Evaluation Frameworks
- National Studies
Within this section structure this wide-ranging volume
embraces:
- the collection of data (and its transformation into
information)
- the formation of policy objectives by government (at all its
different levels)
- the establishment of institutional structures to attain these
goals
- the resourcing of these institutions
- the implementation of actions
- and the policing and monitoring of outcomes.
It employs a variety of disciplinary perspectives, including
economics, politics, law, physical planning, psychology and
engineering. It will be of value to students, researchers, and
practitioners approaching transport from any of these
perspectives.
"Edited by two of the leading figures in transportation research
and dissemination, these handbooks are likely to become the
essential reference work in the field."
DR JOHN PRESTON, DIRECTOR, TRANSPORT STUDIES UNIT, UNIVERSITY OF
OXFORD.
