Since 2000, there has been an exponential amount of research completed in the field of transport modeling thereby creating a need for an expanded and revised edition of this book. National transport models have taken on the new modeling methods and there have been theoretical and empirical advances in performance measurement. Coverage will include current demand methods, data issues, valuation, cost and performance, and updated traffic models. Supplementary case studies will illustrate how modeling can be applied to the study of the different transport modes and the infrastructures that support them. The Second Edition of this handbook will continue to be an essential reference for researchers and practitioners in the field. All contributions are by leading experts in their fields and there is extensive cross-referencing of subject matter. This book features expanded coverage on emerging trends and updated case studies. It addresses models for specific applications (i.e., parking, national traffic forecasting, public transport, urban freight movements, and logistics management).

"This book describes the parameters of new advanced machining processes and challenges the traditional ways of finishing complex workpieces. Described are the many facets of what high performance machining really means and how it can be pursued with ease and exceptional success. This book discusses proven productivity improvements, including advanced cutting tools, simplifying machining operations, and cost saving through practical applications. It also addresses the current and future states of advanced machining processes, such as dry, near-dry, and one-pass machining."--BOOK JACKET.

Describes the parameters and manufacturing characteristics for new advanced machining processes and challenges the traditional ways of finishing complex workpieces. The author systematically describes the many facets of what high-performance machining really means and how it can be pursued with ease and exceptional success.

There is a belief that competitiveness, especially on a global scale, helps cut waste, maintain high quality standards, and generally fosters the "lean" manufacturing paradigm.
