This document shows how transportation agencies can take advantage of the microcomputer resolution. It provides an introduction to the new microcomputer technology (hardware and software) and explores the ways in which microcomputers can be used to meet traffic engineering needs. It is also intended to help those planning and implementing a microcomputer-based information system. Cost estimates are provided. Seven steps to developing a microcomputer system and described. The requirements of a computer consultant/systems analyst are discussed.

Cities within the developing world experience a form of urban development which is different to those in more industrialised countries. Rates of growth are usually much more dramatic, housing and transport are often provided informally, and institutional support for urban management is also much weaker. The crux of this book, first published in 1990, lies in the idea that urban transport planning cannot be viewed in isolation from this wider development context. Making special reference to a number of countries, including Brazil, India and Indonesia, chapters discuss problems of urban transport planning, deficiencies in the theory and practice of conventional transport planning, and the emerging alternatives in the countries under examination. This work addresses problems that are still of great concern to urban policy planners, professionals and academics, as well as students from the fields of development studies, urban geography and planning, architecture and civil engineering.

Proceedings of the Fourth International Conference on Microcomputers in Transportation, held in Baltimore, Maryland, July 22-24, 1992. This collection contains 78 papers describing ways that microcomputers continue to revolutionize the productivity and creativity of transportation professionals and lead to improvements in transportation planning, design, and management processes. Papers describe microcomputer applications in transportation planning, traffic impact analysis, traffic engineering, highway and transit facility design, geographic information systems, accident analysis, economic analysis, information management, project management, and computer tools. Topics include: geographic information systems; transportation planning; traffic and transit operations; transport facility design and management; and computer resources development and application. This collection serves as a reference for new microcomputer applications in the field since it focuses on the actual experience of professionals solving real-world transportation problems.
