Dynamics and Stochasticity in Transportation Systems Part II: Equations and Examples goes beyond theory and mathematical models to give readers a practical understanding of dynamic and stochastic assignment modeling approaches in transportation systems. After an introduction in Chapter One, following chapters present recent advances, reviews of contents of the corresponding chapters in Giulio Cantarella’s previous book, discussions on numerical examples, comprehensive summaries, and final remarks. Readers will appreciate the fully discussed numerical examples, applications to real cases, review of recent developments and other materials not easily available in the literature, including long proofs. This book bridges mathematical theory with operational needs in a way that no current book does with practical, real-world cases and examples. Academics, researchers, and instructors as well as professionals, practitioners, and consultants will find this a valuable resource for solving network equilibrium problems in transportation systems analysis.
- Covers dynamic aspects of transportation network analysis through application of mathematical models to real cases
- Discusses operational issues of mathematical models for evaluation of traffic and transport demand interventions, giving readers a practical approach to these problems and bridging theoretical and operational aspects together
- Presents recent new developments and the latest research findings since 2019
- Includes numerical examples and applications supported by several figures and tables, allowing the reader to reproduce the presented results
Academics, researchers, and instructors in transportation, urban studies, geography; upper-level undergraduate and graduate students in transportation. Professionals, practitioners, and consultants wishing to review and update their background in Transportation Systems Theory
