Sage Handbook of Transport Studies - 9781849207898

The SAGE Handbook of Transport Studies is an authoritative survey of contemporary transportation systems in view of economic, social, technical and environmental challenges. Incorporating an extensive range of approaches - from modes, terminals, planning and policy to more recent developments related to supply chain management, information systems and sustainability/ecology - the work provides a cohesive and extensive overview of the discipline.

Authored by international experts in their field, each individual chapter bridges a broad range of conceptual, theoretical and geographical perspectives, and the handbook is divided into six sections:

• Transport in the Global World

• Transport in Regions and Localities

• Transport, Economy and Society

• Transport Policy

• Transport Networks and Models

• Transport and the Environment

An essential resource for academics, managers, planners and policy-makers.
