Urban Transportation has become a topic of great interest to students, academics and engineers in government and private sector practices. So far, there is almost no book available on the subject written by Indian authors covering the subject in the context of a developing country. In order to meet demand, the authors have teamed up to group together their acquired knowledge as a teacher and a practicing engineer respectively and write this book. This book has been prepared to fit the curriculum of Urban Transportation and Public Transportation taught at postgraduate level at several Indian universities and technology institutes, as well as planning schools. At the same time, the book can be used as a reference book by engineers and consultants. It covers the theme of transportation planning in an urban area, including the basic principles and current practices. Particular attention has been paid to conditions in India and developing countries.
