Synopsis

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.Key FeaturesPresents up-to-date applications of statistical and econometric methods to transportation data rather than statistical theoryOffers transportation statistical applications that reflect current international researchEmphasizes applied processes and illustrates how these methods can be successfully used and interpretedProvides insight into the variety of data collection sources used in statistical analysisDraws on the many advances in statistical analysis of transportation data as a result of increasing computing power
