Elsevier Measuring Transportation Network Performance: Analysis and Practice

Measuring Transportation Network Performance: Analysis and Practice provides a comprehensive guide on how to define and construct performance measures for transportation networks. Sections introduce the technical requirements necessary for establishing a successful transportation network performance measurement system, enabling transportation professionals to define, analyze, and interpret changes in the transportation network more effectively. Practical examples are used to highlight challenges encountered in network performance monitoring, and to point out common errors to enhance comprehension of the network. This book is specifically designed to aid professionals by presenting and explaining the most significant performance measures across various modes of transport. Readers from a range of backgrounds―from transportation planners and engineers in the industry sector, to people in transport departments and consultancies that provide professional services to the public sector―will find this a valuable resource for gaining the confidence to use transportation data to narrate stories about what has happened within the transport network, thus bridging the gap between data and storytelling for efficient problem solving. Covers all network performance measures, including technical requirements for implementation, allowing readers to easily anticipate and understand challenges and requirements they might encounter throughout the process Presents both the practical side of network performance as well as the statistical and mathematical side Goes beyond the limited scope of existing reports that focus on specific types of measures, such as multimodal network connectivity or transit performance Offers a unified framework for developing a performance measurement system applicable to various transportation contexts
