'Collectively the chapters summarise the state of the art, identify areas of challenge and set out a wide-ranging research agenda to inform the major components of transport policy, at various geographic scales, drawing on the views and experiences of an impressive range of internationally leading academics and practitioners. A rich source of research topics and insights.'--Peter Jones, University College London, UK'By systematically analysing issues, modes and regions, a collection of world-leading academics suggest how transport policy researchers should respond to the disruptions posed to the global transport system by shared mobility, next generation vehicles, digital technologies and unprecedented economic, demographic and environmental change. The future of transport policy research is here, in all its intriguing complexity.'--John Preston, University of Southampton, UK'This book is essential reading for designing research relevant to the mobility challenges of the 21st century. It is remarkably comprehensive, probing contemporary issues across all modes and regions of the world. Its attention to disruptive technologies, safety, and new mobility platforms on land, air, and sea is a plus.'--Robert Cervero, University of California, Berkeley, US
