**Schedule-Based Modeling of Transportation Networks: Theory andApplications** follows the book _Schedule-Based Dynamic Transit Modeling_,published in this series in 2004, recognizing the critical role that schedulesplay in transportation systems.Conceived for the simulation of transit systems, in the last few years theschedule-based approach has been expanded and applied to operational planningof other transportation schedule services besides mass transit, e.g. freighttransport. This innovative approach allows forecasting the evolution over timeof the on-board loads on the services and their time-varying performance,using credible user behavioral hypotheses. It opens new frontiers intransportation modeling to support network design, timetable setting, andinvestigation of congestion effects, as well as the assessment of such newtechnologies, such as users system information (ITS technologies).The contributors and editors of the book are leading researchers in the fieldof transportation, and in this volume they build a solid foundation fordeveloping still more sophisticated models. These future models of scheduledtransportation systems will continue to improve the accuracy and sensitivitydesired in forecasting the performance of public transport systems.
