From the reviews: "For the analysis of complex spatiotemporal behaviour of traffic on motorways Kerner’s book severs as an important basis for freeway traffic science that can be valuable for traffic scientists and engineers in solving many tasks in traffic engineering." (Hartmut Keller, tec-Traffic Engineering and Control International Journal of Traffic Management and Transportation Planning 2005, vol. 46, ...

[This] is the first book I have read that offers detailed discussions about traffic congestion on freeways."
Henry Lieu, in Physics Today, November 2005 "Key topic of the book is the description of empirical spatiotemporal behaviour of traffic based on the Kerner’s three-phase traffic theory. The content of the book is based on research work, which Kerner has performed … . The comprehensive bibliography … is impressive whereby they are referred to almost solely as reference numbers in the text. … Kerner’s book serves as an important basis for freeway traffic science that can be valuable for traffic scientists and engineers in solving many tasks in traffic engineering." (Hartmut Keller, tec-Traffic Engineering and Control, Vol. 46 (2), 2005) "Boris Kerner presents in his book an in-depth and comprehensive presentation of his three-phase theory of freeway traffic flow. … It might well mark a milestone in the long-lasting discussion on modeling of freeway traffic flow. … The book is didactically very well written, it guides the reader through the material by providing figurative descriptions whenever possible before diving into mathematics. Every chapter starts and ends with summaries … ." (Peter Vortisch, IEEE Vehicular Technology Magazine, June, 2006) Show Less
