INTRODUCTION TO THE SERIES

Transportation and logistics research has now reached maturity, with a solid foundation of established methodology for professionals to turn to and for future researchers and practitioners to build on. Elsevier has marked this stage in the life of the subject by publishing a landmark series of reference works: Elsevier's Handbooks in Transport. Comprising specially commissioned chapters from the leading experts of their topics, each title in the series encapsulates the essential knowledge of a major area within transportation and logistics. To practitioners, researchers and students alike, these books are authoritative, accessible and invaluable.
