Summary: Excellent text book
Comment: This book is a valuable resource for students, teachers and
researchers. The coverage is broad within the subject area,
whilst the material is both accessible and authoritative.
This third edition includes valuable extensions and updates
to the earlier ones.

I am glad to recommend this text to my students at each of
undergraduate (BEng/MEng), taught postgraduate (MSc) and
research (MPhil, PhD)levels to support their learning and
use of transport models. The book makes an especially suitable
text for transport modelling courses at MSc level.

Summary: Just about the best book available on the subject
Comment: I find "Modelling transport" (2nd edition) to be the best available in its field. It covers just about everything a transport modeller has to know and benefits from one of its authors being an academic researcher and the other a consultant. Both are recognized worldwide as being renowned experts, and the fact that one has an academic bias and the other a practical inclination makes the end product just about unbeatable. In recent years it has been the only reference work I have needed to consult. The title "modelling transport" makes it clear that the book does not cover economic and other evaluation techniques. I think that it would be an even better product if it did, considering the close relation between a transport model and the economic evaluation procedure which should be applied to determining the benefits of the network modifications it models. Inconsistency between the model and the evaluation can lead one to doubt the results of the latter. Maybe this point could be addressed in the third edition.

Rating: 5
Summary: Very clear and complete, therefore extremely useful.
Comment: I frequently use Ortuzar and Willumsen book (I have used both editions) and I think it is one of the best books in this field. It gives the fundmental basics of transportation in a clear and straight-forward way. For the cloth cover edition price, it is a good deal.
