Emergency and Major Event Transportation Systems Planning, Design, Management, and Operations discusses event and emergency transportation as a beginning-to-end resource, from the initial inception of an event with a potential set of conditions through to the return of normal operations. The book includes descriptions of a range of events and their potential impacts; key elements and stakeholder groups involved in the coordination process; and new, evolving, and planned assessment, communication, planning, design, control, and management practices. The content is based on both on both experience and research as well as a synthesis and review of practice and decades of modeling and simulation.

Sections provide a background and history of emergency and major event planning then move to the history, trail-and-error development, testing, and implementation. It then reviews and synthesizes current practices and examples of recognized novel, unique, and effective practices, including practices that provide significant benefits at low cost. Next, it incorporates aspects of practice perspectives from agencies and individuals who are most involved with planning and operational practices. This includes not only transportation fields traditionally tasked with the transportation system planning, design, control and management, but also the allied fields of law and traffic enforcement and emergency management as well as towing, service patrols, and the military.

Covers an often unexplored aspect of transportation that also connects directly to emergency management and other fields
Emphasizes effective practices and highlights novel and unique applications
Offers techniques and suggestions for coordination and implementation
