Already the market leader in the field, Modelling Transport
has become still more indispensible following a thorough and
detailed update. Enhancements include two entirely new chapters on
modelling for private sector projects and on activity-based
modelling; a new section on dynamic assignment and
micro-simulation; and sizeable updates to sections on disaggregate
modelling and stated preference design and analysis. It also
tackles topical issues such as valuation of externalities and the
role of GPS in travel time surveys.

Providing unrivalled depth and breadth of coverage, each topic
is approached as a modelling exercise with discussion of the roles
of theory, data, model specification, estimation, validation and
application. The authors present the state of the art and its
practical application in a pedagogic manner, easily understandable
to both students and practitioners.

* Follows on from the highly successful third edition universally
acknowledged as the leading text on transport modelling techniques
and applications

* Includes two new chapters on modelling for private sector
projects and activity based modeling, and numerous updates to
existing chapters

* Incorporates treatment of recent issues and concerns like risk
analysis and the dynamic interaction between land use and
transport

* Provides comprehensive and rigorous information and guidance,
enabling readers to make practical use of every available
technique

* Relates the topics to new external factors and technologies
such as global warming, valuation of externalities and global
positioning systems (GPS).
