Traffic Flow Theory

Beschreibung

Traffic Flow Theory, Second Edition dissects everyday traffic phenomena, detailing characteristics, mechanisms, and dynamics through multi-level modeling approaches (macroscopic, microscopic, mesoscopic, and picoscopic) to explain why these phenomena occur and how they can be effectively simulated. The book then explores the practical applications of these simulations and contributes new, research-informed evidence showing that integrating the various analytical frameworks leads to a unified perspective-with significant benefits for optimizing safety and efficiency in transportation systems. With its comprehensive, coherent, and self-contained treatment, this book is set to become a staple reference for a broad transportation engineering audience and a valuable resource for readers in interconnected disciplines.
