Synopses & Reviews
This book is a collection of selected presentations of the 6th Meeting of the EURO Working Group on Transportation, which took place at the Department on Mathematics at Chalmers University of Technology, Gothenburg, Sweden. It contains fourteen chapters on recent advances in theory, computation, and practice in a wide variety of areas in transportation research such as the reliability of transportation networks, parking management policies, fuzzy traffic signal control, the workings of a demand-responsive park and ride transport system, and an analysis of car ownership in different countries based on demographic data. Audience: The text is useful for students in transportation science, and advanced undergraduate courses on transportation.
Synopsis
This book collects selected presentations of the Meeting of the EURO Working Group on Transportation, which took place at the Department of Ma- ematics at Chalmers University of Technology, Goteborg (or, Gothenburg), Sweden, September 9-11, 1998. The EURO Working Group on Transpor- tion was founded at the end of the 7th EURO Summer Institute on Urban Traffic Management, which took place in Cetraro, Italy, June 21-July, 1991. There were around 30 founding members of the Working Group, a number which now has grown to around 150. Meetings since then include Paris (1993), Barcelona (1994), and Newcastle (1996). ] About 100 participants were present, enjoying healthy rain and a memorable conference dinner in the Feskekorka. The total number of presentations at the conference was about 60, coming from quite diverse areas within the field of operations research in transportation, and covering all modes of transport: Deterministic traffic equilibrium models (6 papers) Stochastic traffic equilibrium models (5 papers) Combined traffic models (3 papers) Dynamic traffic models (7 papers) Simulation models (4 papers) Origin-destination matrix estimation (2 papers) Urban public transport models (8 papers) Aircraft scheduling (1 paper) Ship routing (2 papers) Railway planning and scheduling (6 papers) Vehicle routing (3 papers) Traffic management (3 papers) Signal control models (3 papers) Transportation systems analysis (5 papers) ix x TRANSPORTATION PLANNING Among these papers, 14 were eventually selected to be included in this volume.
