Features: The theory of transportation location primarily explains the theoretical basis of certain zones where transportation networks are likely to appear. As it reflects the geometric spatial relationship of road networks, it provides a foundation and basis for explaining, discovering, and planning transportation phenomena, as well as for macro-level decision-making in spatial economics. This book consists of 12 chapters, with Chapters 1–9 discussing the theory and application of land transportation location. Chapters 10–12 respectively cover the theory and application of inland waterway transportation location, maritime transportation location theory and application, and the location analysis of two specific pipeline transportation types. This monograph can serve as a reference textbook for senior undergraduate students in transportation, transportation engineering, urban planning, and industrial layout, as well as for master's and doctoral students in transportation planning and management, industrial layout, and related fields. It is also suitable for professionals engaged in the aforementioned fields, as well as those in management, teaching, engineering technology, and research who need to consider transportation environmental conditions.
