This is the only current and in print book covering the full field of transit systems and technology. Beginning with a history of transit and its role in urban development, the book proceeds to define relevant terms and concepts, and then present detailed coverage of all urban transit modes and the most efficient system designs for each. Including coverage of such integral subjects as travel time, vehicle propulsion, system integration, fully supported with equations and analytical methods, this book is the primary resource for students of transit as well as those professionals who design and operate these key pieces of urban infrastructure.
Wiley is well-known as a publisher of both introductory textbooks for highway design and transportation planning, as well as texts for more specialized modes such as airports and heavy-freight railways. This book will compliment our other transportation offerings while filling an existing hole in the program.
Mark Hickman, University of Arizona, in his review of this volume stated that "Wiley has become the dominant publisher in the transportation planning and engineering field, and publishing this textbook would improve Wiley's standing in this regard"
