尽管货运对全球贸易和经济发展至关重要，但现有文献对航运流量-海上“足迹”-的探讨仍然不足。此外，决策者缺乏对如何测量、分析和绘制航运流的全面看法，以支持他们的政策和战略。这本跨学科的书，借鉴了国际专家名单，探讨了航运数据估计，建设，收集，挖掘，分析，可视化和映射方面的一些关键问题。航运数据分析和建模的进展提供了几个关键信息。第一，在一个及时交货和货物快速转运的世界中，必须铭记当前趋势的长期根源以及可预见的未来发展，因为航运模式显示出经常性的动态，如果不是周期性的和依赖路径的动态。第二，目前通常在城市内部物流交付的微观层面和国家一级利用商品流分析来理解航运流，但本卷强调需要扩大分析范围，根据实际数据提供关于全球和国际航运流分布变化的新证据。第三，这种对航运流的多学科方法可以为航运本身以外的关键问题提供重要的启示，包括气候变化，城市发展，技术变革，商品专业化，数字人文，导航模式，国际贸易和区域增长。本书由各自领域的专家编辑，对于研究工业经济学、航运业以及经济和运输地理的人来说至关重要。
Shipping flows – maritime ‘footprints’ – remain underexplored in the existing literature despite the crucial importance of freight transport for global trade and economic development. Additionally, decision-makers lack a comprehensive view on how shipping flows can be measured, analyzed, and mapped in order to support their policies and strategies. This interdisciplinary volume, drawing on an international cast-list of experts, explores a number of crucial issues in shipping data estimation, construction, collection, mining, analysis, visualization, and mapping. Advances in Shipping Data Analysis and Modeling delivers several key messages. First, that in a world of just-in-time delivery and rapid freight transit, it is important to bear in mind the long-term roots of current trends as well as foreseeable future developments because shipping patterns exhibit recurrent, if not cyclical and path-dependent, dynamics. Second, shipping flows are currently often understood at the micro-level of intra-urban logistics delivery and at the national level using commodity flow analyses, but this volume emphasizes the need to expand the scale of analysis by offering new evidence on the changing distribution of global and international shipping flows, based on actual data. Third, that this multidisciplinary approach to shipping flows can shed important light on crucial issues that go beyond shipping itself including climate change, urban development, technological change, commodity specialization, digital humanities, navigation patterns, international trade, and regional growth. Edited by experts in their field, this volume is of upmost importance to those who study industrial economics, shipping industries and economic and transport geography.
