Description
In recent years, transportation systems have been judged on performance-based outcomes, thus, quantitative methods have become increasingly important to such assessments. Transportation Statistics brings together the work of outstanding experts on the latest methods and the applications of those methods to the many modes of transportation statistics at the international level. It details applications of the appropriate statistical methods and other quantitative methods such as operations research and performance measurement. You'll find examples and explications of the techniques used in transportation modeling such as travel demand, travel demand forecasting, freight analysis, the environment and much more. This one-of-a-kind, definitive technical reference will equip practitioners, policy-makers, and academic researchers with state-of-the-art statistical tools used in transportation modeling, how to interpret results and how to analyze the implications of those results.
Reviews / Votes
This book provides a knowledgeable application of statistical and econometric methods to transportation data used in ongoing research. It gives priority to applied processes and describes how these methods can be successfully used and interpreted. It also provides awareness into the variety of data collection sources used in statistical analysis, interprets results, and analyzes the implication of those results. It is worth reading this book for a better understanding of transportation data analysis using statistical techniques that are specifically applicable to transportation."" - Bhuiyan Monwar Alam and Mohammad Abdulkaleem, Journal of the Transportation Research Forum, Vol. 49, No. 3 (Fall 2010)More details
