Abstract

Human activities require movement of persons and/or goods from one place to another. In order for persons to engage in activities such as work, school, shopping, leisure, and socialising, trips are frequently needed since the locations of the activities usually do not coincide. Furthermore, both production and consumption goods go through different stages of treatment — for example from raw materials, to intermediate goods, to consumption goods -that require transportation. Dependent on the characteristics and requirements of an activity and the persons and goods involved, transportation can take place via the air, the sea, or the land. The present book is concerned with the latter, transportation on land using road infrastructure.
