Modelling Transport

by Juan De Dios Ortúzar, Luis G. Willumsen

Already the market leader in the field, Modelling Transport has become still more indispensible following a thorough and detailed update. Enhancements include two entirely new chapters on modelling for private sector projects and on activity-based modelling; a new section on dynamic assignment and micro-simulation; and sizeable updates to sections on disaggregate modelling and stated preference design and analysis. It also tackles topical issues such as valuation of externalities and the role of GPS in travel time surveys. Providing unrivalled depth and breadth of coverage, each topic is approached as a modelling exercise with discussion of the roles of theory, data, model specification, estimation, validation and application. The authors present the state of the art and its practical application in a pedagogic manner, easily understandable to both students and practitioners.

I found that a lot of the T5 lecture notes were based on this book, so it was useful for revision

A very insightful study of Transport Models. I was a bit disappointed by the lack of depth of discussion of fares models, but otherwise the book was excellent. I recommend this book for anyone with an interest in Transport and a decent mathematical background.
