Description for The Physics of Traffic. Empirical Freeway Pattern Features, Engineering Applications, and Theory. Hardback. In this monograph the author presents his so-called empirical spatial-temporal traffic pattern formation he had developed to reconcile the extremely complex dynamical non-linear process with empirical patterns that have been sufficiently understood only recently. Series: Understanding Complex Systems. Num Pages: 705 pages, 19 black & white tables, biography. BIC Classification: KNG; PDE; TBJ. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 234 x 156 x 38. Weight in Grams: 1161.
This monograph is devoted to a new approach to an old field of scientific investigation, freeway traffic research. Freeway traffic is an extremely complex spatiotemporal nonlinear dynamic process. For this reason, it is not surprising that empirical traffic pattern features have only recently been sufficiently understood. Such empirical features are in serious conflict with almost all earlier theoretical and model results. Consequently, the author introduced a new traffic flow theory called "three-phase traffic theory," which can explain these empirical spatiotemporal traffic patterns. The main focus of this book is a consideration of empirical spatiotemporal traffic pattern features, their engineering applications, ... Read more
