The Full Costs and Benefits of Transportation: Contributions to Theory, Method and Measurement / Edition 1

by David L. Greene, Donald W. Jones, Mark A. Delucchi

Overview

Modern transportation systems have far-reaching, and serious consequences: deaths and injuries from accidents, pollution of air, water and groundwater, noise congestion, and the greenhouse effect. As world transport systems expand and become increasingly motorised, the transportation community is searching for systems that are both efficient and sustainable. Here, leading international researchers explore the issues and concepts and define the state of knowledge concerning the full costs and benefits of transportation.
