Appendix - Methods in Transport Geography
Transportation is not a science, but a field of inquiry
and application. As such, it tends to rely on a set of specific
methodologies since transportation is a performance driven
activity and this performance can be measured and compared.
Transportation planning and analysis are interdisciplinary
by nature, involving among others, civil engineers,
economists, urban planners and geographers. Each discipline
has developed methodologies dealing with their respective
array of problems. Still, transportation is an infrastructure
intensive activity, implying that engineering has been the
dominant methodological paradigm for transportation studies.
