Modeling Transport by Juan de Dios Ortuzar and Luis G. Willumsen is an English-language textbook on transport modelling. This reference work focuses on professionals and practice-oriented application in the field.
The book provides in-depth and broad coverage of transport modelling, with each topic treated as a modelling exercise. Theory, data, model building, estimation, validation, and application are covered extensively. The authors combine scientific insights with practical examples, making it suitable for both students and practitioners. The book includes a website with a solutions manual.
Topics include advanced developments in transport modelling, factors for better model formulation and forecasting, dynamic assignment, micro-simulation, agent- and activity-based modelling, and the modelling of new modes of transport and services. This makes it a valuable resource for graduate students and professionals in transport engineering, planning, economics, urban studies, and geographic disciplines.
The book is thematically aligned with topics such as Highway and traffic engineering, Transport industries, and Civil / Highway & Traffic within TECHNOLOGY & ENGINEERING.
