Preface Transportation systems are the building blocks of modern society. Efficient and safe movement of information, people, goods and services ensures a thriving economy and improves our quality of life. After analysis to the transportation systems and finding the relationship between elements in terms of models, next step is finding the method to apply for the models to implement the transportation engineering projects such as planning, evaluation, design, and construction. In this book, basic systems engineering methods will be introduced to transportation systems.
As lecture notes, this book has been written mainly for the subject specialist who requires knowledge in transportation systems field and also for students majoring in transportation engineering, logistics management and management sciences, who desire to learn the basic concepts involved in the use of models for transportation systems. The materials presented is based on a large extending on courses of lectures and books delivered by authors over a number of years to students and professionals in the engineering, life, physical and social sciences. This book has mainly been edited by the author to combine different parts from the book Transportation Systems Analysis by Ennio Cascetta 2001, the lecture notes Urban Transportation Planning Modeling by Dr. Liping Fu 2012, the online lecture notes Transportation Systems Engineering by Tom. V. Mathew and K.V. Krishna Rao 2007, and introduction for transportation professionals Systems Engineering for Intelligent Transportation Systems by U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration Federal Transit Administration 2007.
This book consists of 7 chapters which discuss transportation systems engineering models application and projects management.
Chapter 1 introduces the understanding to transportation systems engineering and how to apply systems engineering methods to transportation engineering projects such as transportation systems design and the decision making process in transportation engineering field. The materials come from an introduction for transportation professionals on Systems Engineering for Intelligent Transportation Systems by U. S. Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration Federal Transit Administration2007 and the book Transportation Systems Engineering by Ennio Cascetta .
Chapter 2 introduces transportation supply design models and solving algorithms. The materials are adopted from the book by Ennio Cascetta.
Chapter 3-5 details the transportation systems engineering design projects. The materials come from the online lecture notes by Tom.V.Mathew and K.V.Krishna.
Chapter 6 introduces Systems Engineering for Intelligent Transportation which conclude ITS project implementation and ITS project management process. The materials are digested from an introduction for transportation professionals on Systems Engineering for Intelligent Transportation Systems by U. S. Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration Federal Transit Administration 2007.
Chapter 7 introduces the transportation systems engineering for planning and evaluation which include methods for the comparison of alternative projects. This part is digested from the book Transportation Systems Engineering by Ennio Cascetta.
In conclusion again I should like to thank Dr. Ennio Cascetta, Dr. Liping Fu, Dr. Tom. V. Mathew, and Dr. K. V. Krishna for their materials contribution. As well as to thank my graduate students for their typing, double checking and communication with the press.
