Overview

Transportation Models: From Theory to Practice helps modelers provide quality policy appraisals through a balance of theoretical stringency and practical experience. The book serves as a reference for transport researchers, with guidance for applying the most simple, practical model for each situation, such as trip generation, trip distribution, sampling and forecasting. The modeling paradigm elements of each are discussed, with details on their contribution to, and influence, on transport policies. The book explains how transport behaviors can be documented with detailed, quantitative models based on proper data foundation, creating informed support for policy creation. Models, such as matrix estimation methods, pivot point forecasting, discrete choice analysis, cost-benefit analysis, and stated-preference design are discussed with their application to today's transportation issues. Various modeling implementations are included, along with SAS (R), MATLAB (R), R, and STATA (R) software source coding for each. An online companion site provides slides, exercises, solutions and data that will be useful for academic learners.
