Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This book is a valuable resource for students, teachers and
researchers. The coverage is broad within the subject area,
whilst the material is both accessible and authoritative.
This third edition includes valuable extensions and updates
to the earlier ones.
I am glad to recommend this text to my students at each of
undergraduate (BEng/MEng), taught postgraduate (MSc) and
research (MPhil, PhD)levels to support their learning and
use of transport models. The book makes an especially suitable
text for transport modelling courses at MSc level.

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.
