Mathematics in Transport Planning and Control (The ^AInstitute of Mathematics and its Applications Conference Series, New Series) - Hardcover
This book brings together papers from mathematicians, engineers and urban designers on the mathematical modelling of traffic flow, choice of transport mode, and route planning. The case studies presented include mathematical optimization in design and operation of signal-controlled road junctions, stochastic models for predicting choice of route, and the planning of airport transit systems. Topics covered include accident prevention, the planning of motorways, considerations for country roads, and the problems of inner city traffic. Studies are also presented on bus traffic, safety measures for pedestrian traffic, provision for cyclists, and airport ground handling staff. This interesting and wide-ranging book includes contributions from Singapore, Korea, Eastern Europe and Britain, and will be read with interest by urban planners and transportation professionals.

Review:
'A glance at the contents of these proceedings will reveal the wide and rich diversity of the application of mathematics to the fields of transport and traffic management. Most of us are influenced in our everyday activities by the problems generated by various modes of transport, with
congestion, delays and accidents at the forefront. It is therefore particularly pleasing to note that many of the papers are specifically directed at the solution of such problems by means of mathematical modelling.'
Zentralblatter
'The book will surely find a place in the libraries of universities and colleges which run courses on transport studies ... the book undoubtedly gives the state-of-the-art in respect to the two disciplines of transport and mathematics.'
Ernest Godward, MCIT, Proceedings of the Chartered Institute of Transport, Volume 2, Number 4
