Description
Book SynopsisExamines the behavioural foundations, often simplistic, that have limited land-use and transportation models in the past, and recommends alternative assumptions, frameworks and methods. This work includes the ways to measure and represent the processes of decision-making that lead to the organisation of human activities in time and space.
Trade Review"...will serve as a cornerstone in the field of land use transportation modeling for years to come." -Venky Shankar, TRANSPORTATION JOURNAL (Apr-Jun 2006)
