The Accelerating Transport Innovation Revolution: A Global, Case Study-based Assessment of Current Experience, Cross-sectorial Effects, and Socioeconomic Transformations

The Accelerating Transport Innovation Revolution: A Global, Case Study-based Assessment of Current Experience, Cross-sectorial Effects, and Socioeconomic Transformations covers the latest, evolving models that are paving the way in effectively connecting research to commercial implementation. The book examines nearly a dozen case studies from the U.S., Europe and Asia, detailing both successes and failures. It isolates and examines key conditions for success, guiding transportation researchers, planners, government agencies, and private sector interests in their future research and implementation projects, assisting in every step of the process, including proposal submission.

Despite the billions of dollars spent on transportation research programs over the past 20 years, there has been little clear and tangible understanding of how research results impact market innovation and implementation, creating an innovation drought. The book spurs transportation innovation by helping remove barriers between research and real-world applications.
