Transportation Nodal System

Transportation Nodal System provides a comprehensive introduction to the development of transport nodes and the nodal systems, focusing on economic, operational, management, planning, policy, regulation, and sustainability perspectives. Transport nodes such as seaports, inland terminals, airports, highways, and railroads are hubs in a multimodal transportation network that facilitate the smooth operation of passengers and freight. Through a deep analysis on different types of transport nodes from diverse perspectives, Transportation Nodal System shows the major issues and challenges that transport node planners, managers, and policymakers face, and how to address them. Transportation Nodal System uniquely uses the transport node itself rather than a specific type of structure for a specific type of transport mode as the primary focus of analysis. The book provides a clear framework for identifying the common attributes across all nodes that contribute to the efficient operations, planning, and management of transport facilities. While stressing the importance of transport nodes in developing efficient logistics and supply chains, Transportation Nodal System also demonstrates that transport nodes are geographically embedded within a particular location, and that its operations are inevitably affected by local factors, such as culture, the economy, the political and regulatory environment, and other institutions. Provides a unified look at multimodal transportation nodes to gain a better understand of total system performanceIncludes numerous case studies from developed and emerging economiesUses an interdisciplinary approach where policy, regulations, economics, strategic management, operations, sustainability, and technological innovation are considered togetherChapters by scholars who specialize in different transport modes (land, sea, and air)Up-to-date outcomes utilizing author's original research provide a systematic investigation of the nodal system in both theory and practice INDICE: 1.
