Contents:
Modeling transport systems on an intra-urban scale -- Determining urban public transport supply -- Defining intermodal accessibility -- Characterizing the shape and operation of transport networks -- Estimating transport demand -- Visualizing daily mobility : towards other modes of representation -- Guiding a tram-train installation : a necessary multi-criteria approach.
Summary: Urban transport systems need to be analyzed from various perspectives: the offer on one hand, the demand on the other hand, but also their negative externalities (risks of transport systems). These three dimensions are rarely apprehended in an integrated perspective. This book provides a large collection of chapters dealing with these specific dimensions, each written by recognized specialists in their domain, and articulates them in an integrated way.
