Modelling Transport

Approaches the subject from the perspective of a modelling exercise discussing the role of theory, data, model specification in its broadest sense, model estimation, validation, and forecasting. Examines the practical constraints to transport modelling for planning and policy making, particularly in view of the limitations of current formal analytical techniques, and the nature and quality of available data. The main thrust is to provide enough information and guidance so readers can actually go and use each technique in the field. In this edition material on Stated-Preference techniques has been strengthened.
