'This wide-ranging volume offers a balanced look at the benefits as well as the caveats associated with various ICT applications in transport. Addressing transport demand and supply as well as policies affecting both, and combining specific case studies with general conceptualizations, the book makes an important contribution to our understanding - and best deployment - of this complex constellation of relationships between ICT and travel. It will be of great value to researchers and practitioners alike.'
