Traffic flow dynamics is a hot topic in transportation planning and operations research. By verifying the asymmetric property of the dynamic link travel time function and identifying the inflow, exit flow and number of vehicles on a physical link as three different states over time, a...

This book presents a systematic introduction to a new generation of models for solving dynamic travel choice problems including traveler`s destination choice, mode choice, departure/arrival time choice and route choice. These models are expected to function as off-line travel forecasting and...

This book examines logistics systems in an integrated way. Its goal is to describe and show how to find rational structures for logistics systems considering all the relevant aspects. Building on an understanding of the simplest logistical system with only one origin and one destination, the...
