PREFACE TO THE SECOND EDITION
The Second Edition of the Handbook of Transportation Science is a compendium of
the fundamental concepts, methods and principles underlying transportation. It has
been expanded from the first edition through the addition of four chapters. Chapter
15 extends the networks section of the book by addressing supply chains, distribution
networks and logistics. While the emphasis is on freight transportation, the
principles for network design extend to other applications, such as public
transportation. Chapters 16 through 18 fall in a new section on transportation
economics. Chapter 16 addresses revenue management, a relatively recent topic in
transportation, that has had substantial impact on the airline industry in particular.
Chapter 17 presents spatial interaction models, which provides a mechanism for
analyzing patterns of development. Lastly, Chapter 18 provides the principles of
transportation economics, with emphasis on pricing and public policy. In addition to
the new chapters, several of the original chapters have been updated and revised. We
hope that the Second Edition continues to inspire research into the science of
transportation.
