Bovy, former Professor of Transport Planning, Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands<i>'The book provides an insightful glimpse into the interdisciplinary research area on travel behavior. . . The many descriptions of current policy make this book particularly interesting for policymakers dealing with travel behavior in a more practical way.'</i>
- Arianne de Blaeij, The Economic Journal,
The authors present non-traditional approaches to four pertinent topics in the field of travel behaviour: mobility and travel, telecommunication and travel, traffic congestion and modelling travel behavioural responses. In contrast to many orthodox studies that propose congestion relief solutions, Travel Behaviour suggests that a certain amount of congestion is good for transportation systems.
This unique volume is aimed at a wide variety of complementary disciplines from transportation professionals, to policymakers, transport economists, urban and regional planners, geographers and behavioural scientists.
