    Why don't you give exact delivery time?

    Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

    Long description:

    Comprehensive and interdisciplinary in scope, this Research Handbook provides readers with a deep understanding of how to create and use models to optimize different aspects of transport and logistics systems, from long-distance freight movement to urban public transit.



    Expert authors emphasize the importance of accurate modeling for addressing real-world challenges in the transport sector, such as increased demand and environmental concerns. They analyze a wide range of models including offline vs. online, deterministic vs. stochastic, and time-independent vs. time-dependent approaches. Structured into five main parts, the book covers long- and short-haul transportation, people transportation, and integrated problems and applications, examining the benefits and limitations of quantitative modeling. Chapters explore issues including network design, vehicle and arc routing, disaster response logistics, and railway planning. Ultimately, the Research Handbook on Transport Modeling highlights the need for accurate modeling to efficiently navigate a turbulent economic landscape.



    Incorporating accessible modeling techniques, this Research Handbook is an essential resource for scholars and students of transportation and logistics, operations management, and economics and finance. It is also a crucial read for practitioners and policymakers in the field.



    ‘The Research Handbook on Transport Modeling covers a wide breadth of decision problems with a highly appreciated focus on modeling. This makes it a great resource for an introductory course covering optimization models for transportation, at the concept stage of research or for a practitioner trying to identify the right model for their transportation problem.’
