• Computers in Transport Planning and Operation (Ian Allan, £3) by Anthony Wren, of Leeds University, deals with a subject of increasing importance to transport managers in both the passenger and freight field. The sensational successes or — more often — the sensational failures of computer planning in transport have been widely publicized but much useful work has never been published. Mr Wren's aim has been to describe the uses of computers and mathematical methods in the planning of transport operations and his book will be useful both to those who earn a living in transport management and to systems analysts brought into the industry from time to time.
