In an increasingly globalised world, despite reductions in costs
and time, transportation has become even more important as a
facilitator of economic and human interaction; this is reflected in
technical advances in transportation systems, increasing interest
in how transportation interacts with society and the need to
provide novel approaches to understanding its impacts. This has
become particularly acute with the impact that Covid-19 has had on
transportation across the world, at local, national and
international levels. Encyclopedia of Transportation, Seven Volume
Set - containing almost 600 articles - brings a cross-cutting and
integrated approach to all aspects of transportation from a variety
of interdisciplinary fields including engineering, operations
research, economics, geography and sociology in order to understand
the changes taking place. Emphasising the interaction between these
different aspects of research, it offers new solutions to
modern-day problems related to transportation. Each of its nine
sections is based around familiar themes, but brings together the
views of experts from different disciplinary perspectives. Each
section is edited by a subject expert who has commissioned articles
from a range of authors representing different disciplines,
different parts of the world and different social perspectives. The
nine sections are structured around the following themes: Transport
Modes; Freight Transport and Logistics; Transport Safety and
Security; Transport Economics; Traffic Management; Transport
Modelling and Data Management; Transport Policy and Planning;
Transport Psychology; Sustainability and Health Issues in
Transportation. Some articles provide a technical introduction to a
topic whilst others provide a bridge between topics or a more
future-oriented view of new research areas or challenges. The end
result is a reference work that offers researchers and
practitioners new approaches, new ways of thinking and novel
solutions to problems. All-encompassing and expertly authored, this
outstanding reference work will be essential reading for all
students and researchers interested in transportation and its
global impact in what is a very uncertain world.
