SIMULATION APPROACHES IN TRANSPORTATION ANALYSIS: Recent Advances and Challenges focuses on the latest advanced research on modeling as well as applications of transport simulation, including simulation of vehicle movements on the road, dynamic simulation of traffic flow on transport networks, and simulation of the movement of people in an urban area. Models from the three continents of Europe, North America, and Asia are discussed in detail. Research issues and future directions of transport simulation development are systematically addressed. It is the first book to thoroughly discuss global developments and the broad issues of transport simulation.

Although there are many books on transportation network theory and simulation, this bok is the first of its kind
