The subject of "Transportation Systems Design" refers to the conceptual and quantitative approach to the analysis of the transportation system and its related subsystems. The adopted approach aims at optimizing the design and operation of transportation infrastructure. The goal is to create sufficient knowledge that will enable engineers to intervene in the complex structure of the economic, organizational, and physical environment, so that transportation contributes efficiently to the coordination of private and public plans and actions, for the benefit of all social objectives and economic development.

This book presents and analyzes the processes, methods, models, and algorithms necessary for the design of transportation systems based on the above approach.
