Abstract

Transport geography has become more diverse in terms of research themes, methods, and sources considered. New pathways for transport research have been initiated not only within the field but also by scholars from other disciplines, for instance, sociology and environmental science. In addition, the advent of the big data era has offered new research opportunities while also raising new methodological concerns. These new directions have sometimes shaken up transport geographers and forced them to change their perspective. In this context, this chapter considers advances, opportunities, and, sometimes, risks and disappointments induced by the following topics to transport geography: epistemology and social theories; urban transport; long-distance travel and the environment; the relationships between transport and spatial planning; linking spaces, places, and time; new (big) data sources; and visualising transport geography.

A transport geography IGU commission first existed from 1968 to 1980, then became a working group until 1988.

Where the seminal work of Jacques Bertin (1983) on (geo)graphic semiology remains influential. For instance, the 2021 French Transport Geography conference over three days was devoted entirely to cartographical approaches of mobilities, flows, and trips.
