Open publisher page 1,317 citations

Abstract

Describes the cutting edge in travel demand analysis using the latest methods. Emphasizing mathematical modeling techniques, this is the first book to integrate economic concepts of supply and demand equilibrium for urban activities using the concept of traffic equilibrium within transportation networks. Models for optimal transportation are integrated with demand models. Transit travel and goods movement are specifically addressed.
