Second edition
edited by Randolph W. Hall
The Handbook of Transportation Science 2nd edition outlines the field of transportation as a scientific discipline that transcends transportation technology and methods.
The eighteen chapters in this definitive Second Edition are written by the leading researchers in Transportation Science as a continual effort to explore the scientific nature and state-of-the-art of the field. As such, it is directed to all the research and practitioner domains of transportation.
The Handbook of Transportation Science 2nd edition has been expanded from the first edition through the addition of four chapters:
- Chapter 15 extends the networks section of the book by addressing supply chains, distribution networks and logistics. While the emphasis is on freight transportation, the principles for network design extend to other applications, such as public economics.
- Chapter 16 through 18 fall in a new section on transportation economics. Chapter 16 addresses revenue management, a relatively recent topic in transportation, which has had substantial impact on the airline industry in particular.
- Chapter 17 presents spatial interaction models, which provides a mechanism for analyzing patterns of development.
- Chapter 18 provides the principles of transportation economics, with emphasis on pricing and public policy. In addition to the new chapters, the original chapters have been updated and revised.
