This field of work includes management and engineering, public transport planning, strategic transport planning, demand modelling, and policy.</p> <p xmlns="http://ns.editeur.org/onix/3.0/reference"><i>Urban Transport and Traffic Engineering and Planning</i> provides an overview in two volumes of the key fundamentals of the topic, looking at immediate, short-term and long-term horizons. The book covers traffic management, including signals and parking; public transport service planning, including lines, terminals, integration and fare systems; strategic transport planning, including demand forecasting, as well as system assessment, policy, community needs, and technology development.</p> <p xmlns="http://ns.editeur.org/onix/3.0/reference"><i>Volume 1</i> introduces the transport engineering profession and provides terminology definitions. The concept of sustainable development is explained and sustainable transport discussed. Transport management and strategic transport planning are covered, including short- and long-term goals. A key chapter covers how urban transport projects have evolved from considerations of traffic and infrastructure alone to catering for sustainability requirements. Traffic management and public transport service planning are covered, with illustrative examples.</p> <p xmlns="http://ns.editeur.org/onix/3.0/reference"><i>Volume 2</i> continues by introducing sustainable strategic transport planning in detail, including the concepts, steps and inputs. Demand modelling and forecasting are comprehensively covered with various solved examples provided. The assessment and evaluation of transport systems are addressed, and the aims and approaches to transport policy are explained. A final chapter raises awareness of challenges of changing community needs - including equity, affordability and health - and technological developments such as fuels, electric vehicles, autonomous systems and big data.</p> <p xmlns="http://ns.editeur.org/onix/3.0/reference">Written by an author with 55 years' experience in university education, professional training and consulting, this book is a vital read for any early-career researcher, engineer, or student who wishes to grasp the fundamental principles and necessary practical skills of this dynamic topic area. The book is also a valuable resource for those developing and leading courses on the topic, as well as consultants and city planners.</p>Fri, 06 Nov 2026 15:15:22 GMThttps://shop.theiet.org:443/urban-transport-and-traffic-engineering-and-planning-2https://shop.theiet.org:443/urban-transport-and-traffic-engineering-and-planning<p xmlns="http://ns.editeur.org/onix/3.0/reference">Transport and traffic engineering and planning is a key branch of civil engineering focussing on the planning and design of urban transport systems to ensure the safe, efficient, economic and sustainable movement of people and goods.
