The International Encyclopaedia of Transportation – containing almost 600 articles – brings a cross-cutting and integrated approach to all aspects of transportation from a variety of interdisciplinary fields including engineering, operations research, economics, geography and sociology edited by Professor Roger Vickerman <\/a>Emeritus Professor of European Economics at the school. Roger’s research focuses on the relationship between transport (especially infrastructure) and economic development; regional development and integration in the\u00a0European Union<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Encyclopedia emphasises the interaction between different aspects of research, offers new solutions to modern-day problems related to transportation. <\/span><\/p>\n

‘Each of its nine sections is based around familiar themes but brings together the views of experts from different disciplinary perspectives.’ Vickerman explained ‘Each section is edited by a subject expert who has commissioned articles from a range of authors representing different disciplines, different parts of the world and different social perspectives.’<\/span><\/p>\n

‘Some articles provide a technical introduction to a topic whilst others provide a bridge between topics or a more future-oriented view of new research areas or challenges.The end result is a reference work that offers researchers and practitioners new approaches, new ways of thinking and novel solutions to problems.’<\/span><\/p>\n
