The history of transport planning is mainly a history of numbers and statistical parameters. The human being plays a prominent role in transport planning in terms of his or her role as a transport mode user, as a macro-economic aggregate of various benefit components in appraisal methods, or as a disturbance variable in traffic flows. In terms of being subjects with individual needs, wishes and daily requirements however, human beings appeared quite late in transport planning.
This book aims to make a case for the recently emerging ‘subjective perspectives’ in transport studies and transport planning. The seven contributions are based on concepts as different as lifestyle, milieu, emotion, and accessibility preferences. Methodologies adopted include agent-based micro-simulation, quantitative empirical analysis, and qualitative in-depth interviews.
The book may be useful for all those interested in recent developments in transport, as well as accessibility and mobility studies, including planners, geographers, sociologists, psychologists and economists.
