Description:

In recent years the freight transport business has become much more complex and significant as a business sector, because of developments such as globalisation and new technologies. More sophisticated modelling of freight transport is therefore a hot topic in transportation research. This text/reference will be an edited collection of commissioned contributions from international experts. It aims to provide an overview of current issues in freight transport analysis.
