"The Geography of Transport Systems, concerned with movements of freight, people and information, tries to link spatial constraints and attributes with the origin, the destination, the extent, the nature and the propose of movements. It is divided into nine chapters, each covering a specific conceptual dimension. Each chapters also covers methodologies linked with transport geography such as accessibility, spatial interactions, graph theory and geographic information systems for transportation. This student-friendly book provides a comprehensive introduction to the field, with a broad overview of its concepts, methods and areas of application. It is highly illustrated with over 100 figures and tables and includes an extensive glossary"--Jacket.
