Description for Introduction to Modern Traffic Flow Theory and Control
Hardback. This volume explains the nature of traffic breakdown and congestion through three-phase traffic theory. Readers will find a new method of highway traffic management and the background needed to research the complex system dynamics in traffic flow and transportation networks. Num Pages: 278 pages, 41 black & white tables, biography. BIC Classification: RPT; TNH. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly. Dimension: 242 x 166 x 26. Weight in Grams: 570.
The understanding of empirical traf?c congestion occurring on unsignalized mul- lane highways and freeways is a key for effective traf?c management, control, or- nization, and other applications of transportation engineering. However, the traf?c ?ow theories and models that dominate up to now in transportation research journals and teaching programs of most universities cannot explain either traf?c breakdown or most features of the resulting congested patterns. These theories are also the - sis of most dynamic traf?c assignment models and freeway traf?c control methods, which therefore are not consistent with features of real traf?c. For this reason, the author introduced an ... Read more

Reviews for Introduction to Modern Traffic Flow Theory and Control
From the reviews: “Three-phase theory must be taken seriously, and traditional analysis by traffic engineers should be revised. I hope the book will encourage the traffic research community to employ the concepts and methods that Kerner has so convincingly presented. … Concepts are clearly illustrated with figures, and the book’s useful glossary of traffic terminology should make the material ...
