Transportation researchers, and those from related disciplines, such as artificial intelligence, energy, applied mathematics, electrical engineering and environmental science will benefit from the book’s deep dive into the transportation domain, allowing for smarter technological solutions for modern transportation problems. The book helps create solutions with fewer financial, social, political and environmental costs for the populations they serve.
Readers will learn from, and be able to interpret, the information and data collected from modern mobile and sensor technologies and understand how to use system optimization strategies using this information. The book concludes with an evaluation of the social and system impacts of modern transportation systems.
- Takes a fresh look at transportation systems analysis and design, with an emphasis on urban systems and information/data use
- Serves as a focal point for those in artificial intelligence and environmental science seeking to solve modern transportation problems
- Examines current analytical innovations that focus on capturing, predicting, visualizing and controlling mobility patterns
- Provides an overview of the transportation systems benefitting from modern technologies, such as public transport, freight services and shared mobility service models, such as bike sharing, peer-to-peer ride sharing and shared taxis
Transportation system professionals, and urban planning researchers and practitioners. Non-transportation researchers, such as computer science, energy, economics, environmental science, and electrical engineering, interested in transportation. State and federal transportation and urban policy decisions makers, and planners
