Wiley Urban Travel: From Individual Choices to General Equilibrium

Modern urban transportation requires more than the outdated forecasting methods developed decades ago. While traditional models were built to assess large-scale capital projects, they often fail to address the complexities of contemporary urban travel problems. Urban Travel: From Individual Choices to General Equilibrium by Wiley provides a necessary update for professionals and researchers in the field. This book presents a state-of-the-art approach to travel demand modeling. It moves beyond old methodologies to offer an integrated system of models designed to overhaul the four traditional phases of forecasting. By focusing on an integrated system, this work ensures that models are more effective for today's needs. To remain relevant, modern travel demand models must explicitly represent traveler behavior, remain policy-sensitive, and maintain operational reliability. This text addresses these requirements directly, providing the tools needed to navigate the shift from individual choices to general equilibrium in urban transportation planning.
