Measuring Transportation Network Performance: Analysis and Practice provides a comprehensive guide on how to define and construct performance measures for transportation networks. Sections introduce the technical requirements necessary for establishing a successful transportation network performance measurement system, enabling transportation professionals to define, analyze, and interpret changes in the transportation network more effectively. Practical examples are used to highlight challenges encountered in network performance monitoring, and to point out common errors to enhance comprehension of the network. This book is specifically designed to aid professionals by presenting and explaining the most significant performance measures across various modes of transport.
Readers from a range of backgrounds—from transportation planners and engineers in the industry sector, to people in transport departments and consultancies that provide professional services to the public sector—will find this a valuable resource for gaining the confidence to use transportation data to narrate stories about what has happened within the transport network, thus bridging the gap between data and storytelling for efficient problem solving.
