Forecasting travel in urban America : : the socio-technical life of an engineering modeling world / / Konstantinos Chatzis.

A history of urban travel demand modeling (UTDM) and its enormous influence on American life from the 1920s to the present. For better and worse, the automobile has been an integral part of the American way of life for decades. Its ascendance would have been far less spectacular, however, had engine...
