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 is marking this stage in the life of the subject by launching 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 will encapsulate the essential knowledge of a major area within transportation and logistics. To practitioners, researchers and students alike, these books will be authoritative, accessible and invaluable.
