Introduction to Transportation Systems Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Book News Annotation:

Sussman (civil and environmental engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology and one of the original strategic planners of the US ITS program) presents a text suited for a one-semester course in introductory graduate level transportation systems, focusing on the fundamental conceptual issues in analyzing and designing transportation systems. The volume's three parts address basic material about transportation systems, including their context and how they work; freight transportation; and traveler transportation. Some illustrative mathematical material is included.
