Transportation Operations Management delivers the analytical tools and industry context required to comprehend and manage the essential real-world transportation operations and planning challenges that shippers, carriers, and third-party logistics providers encounter on a daily basis.

The book investigates operational issues in all modes of transportation—air, motor carrier, water vessel, pipeline, and rail—to demonstrate how they interact in the actual world of today's carriers and shippers. Designing efficient domestic and international transportation networks; choosing optimal locations within market spaces; designing infrastructure to manage network congestion; leveraging intermodalism for operational flexibility; leveraging techniques for costing, pricing, and revenue management; using tracking technology for decision making; maintaining regulatory compliance in operations; and managing environmental stewardship are just a few of the topics covered in the book. The book demonstrates the critical role of transportation in strategic and tactical decision-making by focusing on the impact of logistical constraints such as time, physical space, and location.

The book "Transportation Operations Management" employs mathematical approaches such as capacity management theory, costing and pricing microeconomics, risk management, linear optimization, productivity measurement, queueing theory, and complicated scheduling. The book also employs real-world problems with real-world market restrictions in technology, location, and government laws to give an applicable framework for the methodologies under consideration.
