This volume contains selected peer-reviewed papers presented at the IMA 4th International Conference on Mathematics in Transport. These papers deal with the development and application of mathematical and statistical modelling in transport and present research on the mathematical ideas and methodologies required to cope with the increasing demand on transport infrastructure. Authorship is international and a wide variety of topics are covered including public transport and scheduling, pricing issues, travel behaviour and choice modelling, safety and spatial and location modelling. It has an international perspective with authors representing many countries and covering a variety of topics.
