Transporte impactos sobre las personas y las empresas de muchas maneras diferentes, y presenta algunos de los problemas clave que los tomadores de decisiones deben abordar. Este libro de texto introduce el sistema de transporte de una manera integral y multidisciplinar, que reúne a los componentes de una miríada de transporte. Este libro de texto está escrito para un público internacional de estudiantes de pregrado y postgrado en el transporte y otros temas relacionados, así como para los profesionales y tomadores de decisiones políticas a través de los sectores público y privado. Las características clave incluyen: La discusión de la importancia de la accesibilidad del transporte y los impactos del transporte sobre las cuestiones ambientales y de la política de seguridad en relación con todos los asuntos tratados y de las opciones futuras prescritos. Métodos de evaluación de transporte y métodos de modelización. Ejemplos para resaltar los vínculos entre los componentes del sistema de transporte - para las infraestructuras de ejemplo, el uso del suelo, las tecnologías de vehículos - y la importancia de estos vínculos para la toma de decisiones.
