A Prologue to Transportation Geography Research

Research in transportation geography has undergone several substantial changes in orientation and focus over the last quarter century. Some of these shifts have paralleled general changes in the field of geography; in other instances research by transportation geographers has been instrumental in influencing the nature and direction of research by other geographers. Heuristically, four somewhat separate approaches to transportation geography research may be identified. These are termed, somewhat fancifully, and in the context of quantitative developments, the pre-revolution, the revolution, the aftermath, and early maturity.
