This chapter sets the stage for the discussion of transportation network centrality in the chapters to follow. To do so, it firstly points out how transportation blends in with logistics and supply chain management (SCM), and continues by introducing transportation networks. Where do they play a role in practice? Why are they important for modern societies? It will become clear that transportation networks must be designed carefully, which leads to reviewing network design as a research field in Operational Research (OR).
