Transportation Network Design

Transportation Network Design tackles the complex challenge of creating effective and sustainable national transportation systems. It emphasizes a holistic approach, integrating infrastructure studies and urban planning with engineering and economic considerations. The book uniquely combines network science, demand modeling, and evaluation methodologies to guide transportation planners and policymakers. Readers will gain insights into how transportation networks can facilitate economic growth, enhance social equity, and minimize environmental impact, all while addressing current challenges like congestion and carbon emissions.

The book progresses logically, beginning with fundamental network design principles like graph theory and network flow optimization. It then explores demand forecasting techniques, teaching readers how to predict future transportation needs. Finally, it delves into evaluation methodologies, such as cost-benefit analysis and environmental impact assessment, providing a framework for comparing different network design alternatives.

By blending academic rigor with practical relevance, the book equips readers with the knowledge to design transportation networks that are efficient, sustainable, and equitable.
