En savoir plus sur le livre

This collection explores various aspects of transportation science and its intersection with economics. It begins with discussions on the dynamic, interdisciplinary nature of transportation research and the need for a system-oriented approach in transportation economics. The necessity, possibilities, and limitations of capturing real-world data in the transport sector are examined, alongside debates on whether transportation science should be considered an independent discipline or part of mesoeconomics. The annotation covers topics such as tariff design in public transport, the relationship between economic and transport systems, and price regulations within the transport sector. The role of transport systems in urban development and the economic integration effects of transport are analyzed, along with regional decision-making aids for policy practice and the regionalization of transport. Contributions also address the influence of transport on land use, the evolution of transport systems, and the impact of telecommunications on transportation in the 1980s. The collection discusses changes in transport investment strategies, the role of transportation development planning in long-term policy, and infrastructure planning as a regulatory issue. Additionally, it considers transportation planning in developing countries, the potential for combined transport in Europe, and the evolving landscape of maritime and air transport
