Product Description
The fabric of all societies is held together by networks of various kinds, such as water supply, energy supply, sewage disposal, communication and, perhaps most importantly, transportation. Transportation Network Analysis is concerned primarily with the spatial, but also the temporal, nature of the movement of people and freight across land, where the movement is channelled onto roads or railways. The road and rail infrastructure constitute the transportation network while the movement of people and freight constitute the flows on the network. Providing a coherent theoretical framework, this book focuses on three interdependent aspects of transportation networks: state estimation the estimation of path flows, vehicle queues, stops and delays; route choice link cost functions and the equilibrium principle; and network design traffic signal control, link design and link insertion or deletion. While the treatment of transportation networks is general and not specific to one mode of transport, the emphasis is on private transport by road networks with extensions to public transport indicated where appropriate. Numerous examples illustrate both definitions and algorithms.

 Best suited for the academic, but still fundamental January 27, 2004

I must agree with the previous reviewer who thought this book was for the expert rather than the novice. That is true. Drawing heavily on academic knowledge this book almost requires a degree in civil engineering before you even start reading. Even so, if you're seriously into transportation planning and analysis this is the book you should not miss. It teaches you all the basic concepts you need to know. For my part, I mostly use only one chapter from the book for my research, others may do the same with different parts of the book. That's what makes it so useful.
 It's good for expert person. March 17, 2000

I've read this book for four time. I realised that if I'm expert in this field it'll be very useful book, but if I'm just new face in this field (student), it's quiet complicate.
