Summary:

Writing for the mainstream transport community in the developed countries of the West, Van Wee (transport policy, Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands) examines ethical aspects of transport in public space. The book draws on the results of a questionnaire-based study of the use of cost-benefit analysis (CBA) for the evaluation of transport projects and policies. Issues considered include social exclusion, long-term sustainability and transport evaluation, and safety, as well as the ethics of doing transport research and the ethical aspects of the use of transport models. The book's audience includes researchers, students, and policy makers in transport economics, transport policy, and transport planning. Annotation ©2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
