The vast expansion of transportation systems on land, sea and in
the air throughout the twentieth century has allowed for the
development of economic, social and political connections across
the globe undreamed of by our ancestors. However, this expansion
has brought with it familiar problems such as airport delays and
gridlock in our major cities. Fortunately, parallel progress in
system science and information technology can provide us with the
appropriate tools for rational and efficient solutions to our
exponentially increasing transportation demands. This encyclopedia
addresses the analysis, modelling and control of today's and
tomorrow's traffic and transportation systems in a concise,
comprehensive single volume. Well over 100 articles have been
specially commissioned, or revised from the acclaimed "Systems
& Control Encyclopedia," to provide an overview of and first
reference to models, control methods and practical aspects of all
forms of traffic and transportation systems with a particular
emphasis on efficient utilization of available infrastructure, plus
a consideration of their historical, organizational, economic and
social impacts. The "Concise Encyclopedia of Traffic &
Transportation Systems" will be essential for professional and
academic scientists and engineers in any discipline concerned with
the movement of people and materials.
