Modelling Transport, Ortuzar and Willumsen, 4th Edition (2011)



Modelling Transport 4th Edition PDF Download Ebook. Juan de Dios Ortuzar and Luis G. Willumsen offer two new chapters on modelling for private sector projects and activity based modeling, and numerous updates to existing chapters. This book incorporates treatment of recent issues and concerns like risk analysis and the dynamic interaction between land use and transport.

This text provides comprehensive and rigorous information and guidance, enabling readers to make practical use of every available technique. It relates the topics to new external factors and technologies such as global warming, valuation of externalities and global positioning systems (GPS).

Already the market leader in the field, this book has become still more indispensible following a thorough and detailed update. Enhancements include two entirely new chapters on modelling for private sector projects and on activity-based modeling; a new section on dynamic assignment and micro-simulation; and sizeable updates to sections on disaggregate modeling and stated preference design and analysis. It also tackles topical issues such as valuation of externalities and the role of GPS in travel time surveys.

Providing unrivalled depth and breadth of coverage, each topic is approached as a modeling exercise with discussion of the roles of theory, data, model specification, estimation, validation and application. The authors present the state of the art and its practical application in a pedagogic manner, easily understandable to both students and practitioners.

Finally, this text follows on from the highly successful third edition universally acknowledged as the leading text on transport modeling techniques and applications.

Concrete Pavement Design Guidance Notes, Geoffrey Griffiths, Nick Thom, (2007)



Publication Date: June 18, 2007 | ISBN-10: 0415254515 | ISBN-13: 978-0415254519 | Edition: 1

This comprehensive design guide summarizes current developments in the design of concrete pavements. Following an overview of the theory involved, the authors detail optimum design techniques and best practice, with a focus on highway and infrastructure projects.

Worked examples and calculations are provided to describe standard design methods, illustrated with numerous case studies. The author provides guidance on how to use each method on particular projects, with reference to UK, European and US standards and codes of practice.

Concrete Pavement Design Guidance Notes is an essential handbook for civil engineers, consultants and contractors involved in the design and construction of concrete pavements, and will also be of interest to students of pavement design.
