Transportation planning and management addresses the complex mobility challenges faced by both large metropolitan cities and rural areas. This updated edition delves deeper into critical aspects of urban and rural mass transportation planning and management, offering a comprehensive and balanced perspective. Each chapter has been enriched with updated time-series data and an expanded collection of practical examples to illustrate key concepts effectively. The theoretical sections have been significantly enhanced to include detailed discussions on transit operating elements, the planning processes for mass transit systems, and advanced management methods for mass transportation, with a particular focus on the integration of emerging technologies.
Contains exclusive material on transport planning in developing economies.
Discusses both planning and management aspects.
Explores data from urban and rural public transport.
Examine resource needs and economics of public transport.
Includes examples and case studies from BRIC countries.
This book is aimed for senior undergraduate and graduate students in transportation engineering and transport planners.
