This book concerns the use of graphs for the simulation and representation of transport networks. Its aim is to cover networks in both spatial analysis and urban management, together with the simulation by graph theory, a tool that makes it possible to solve various classic problems such as high-speed roads between one or more origins and destinations, the capacity of a network, etc. It will also be possible to apply these results to other applications such as personal networks and communications networks, making this book a useful reference tool for those involved in this area.

Philippe Mathis, EPHE, teaches at the University of Tours, France. He has been Dean of the Planning Dot. and Director of the CESA where he has created and headed a research laboratory. He has been commissioned for numerous studies in the planning field at local and regional levels as well as by the Ministry of Equipment. He is consultant for DATAR, and European Lead partner of the EPSON Project 1.2.1 "Transport Services and Networks". His main research area is space and transport modeling: graphs theory, urban societies' dynamics, and currently multilevel modeling and Multi Agents Systems.
