It is useful for academics and professionals in the transport sector. Format: Paperback / softback Length: 428 pages Publication date: 31 March 2021 Publisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd The transport sector encompasses a diverse range of modes of transportation, each playing a vital role in meeting the ever-increasing demand for the movement of people and goods. On the one hand, this growing demand necessitates the expansion of the system's capacity to accommodate the increasing number of travelers and shipments. On the other hand, it calls for enhancing the economic efficiency, effectiveness, and environmental and social friendliness of the transport sector. This necessitates the development of a "greener" or more sustainable transport sector.The book delves into the current and prospective state of analytical modelling, conceptual planning, and multi-criteria evaluation of selected cases of transport systems operated by various modes of transportation, including road, rail, sea, air, and intermodal. It stands out in addressing these three critical aspects of transport systems before their implementation, ensuring that the selected cases are thoroughly analyzed and evaluated.This book is particularly valuable for readers from the academic community and professionals in the transport sector. It provides a comprehensive understanding of the challenges and opportunities associated with transport systems and offers valuable insights into the development of sustainable and efficient transport solutions.In conclusion, the transport sector is a complex and dynamic field that requires continuous innovation and improvement to meet the growing demand for transportation. By addressing the three critical aspects of transport systems, including analytical modelling, conceptual planning, and multi-criteria evaluation, we can create a more sustainable and efficient transport sector that benefits both the environment and society.
