Computational Approaches to Policy Challenges

This book addresses a critical gap between the nature of contemporary policy challenges and the way most academic research is conducted. Policymakers and practitioners routinely face complex, interconnected problems - ranging from climate resilience and public health crises to social equity and organizational management - that demand interdisciplinary perspectives and computationally informed approaches. Yet, public policy scholarship often remains fragmented, narrowly disciplinary, and slow to integrate the rapidly advancing tools of data science. This book provides a timely intervention by demonstrating how computational approaches can be meaningfully applied to policy analysis, bridging a persistent divide between aspiration and practice in the field.

Through exploring cutting-edge interdisciplinary research and examples of how computational tools can address real-world problems, this book provides both inspiration and practical guidance for advancing public policy scholarship and practice.

Mapping the Travel Behavior Genome
<p><i>Mapping the Travel Behavior Genome</i> covers the latest research on the biological, motivational, cognitive, situational, and dispositional factors that drive activity-travel behavior. Organized into three sections, <i>Retrospective and Prospective Survey of Travel Behavior Research, New Research Methods and Findings, and Future Research</i>, the chapters of this book provide evidence of progress made in the most recent years in four dimensions of the travel behavior genome. These dimensions are <i>Substantive Problems, Theoretical and Conceptual Frameworks, Behavioral Measurement, and Behavioral Analysis. </i>Including the movement of goods as well as the movement of people, the book shows how traveler values, norms, attitudes, perceptions, emotions, feelings, and constraints lead to observed behavior&#x3b; how to design efficient infrastructure and services to meet tomorrow's needs for accessibility and mobility&#x3b; how to assess equity and distributional justice&#x3b; and how to assess and implement policies for improving sustainability and quality of life. </p> <p><i>Mapping the Travel Behavior Genome</i> examines the paradigm shift toward more dynamic, user-centric, demand-responsive transport services, including the "sharing economy," mobility as a service, automation, and robotics. This volume provides research directions to answer behavioral questions emerging from these upheavals.</p>
