Overview

This text describes and illustrates the key models of traffic flow and associated traffic phenomena such as conflicts in traffic, traffic generation and assignment, and traffic control. The use of these various models are explored both in terms of how they have improved traffic systems over the years and how better implementation of these models can accelerate the successful deployment of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). Furthermore, the book outlines opportunities for development of additional models needed for continued improvement of ITS. The book is intended as a textbook for a college Transportation Science curriculum, and as a reference book for researchers in Transportation Science.

"From the reviews: ""This is a well-written book on traffic theory, dealing with some popular models of traffic flow as well as the identification of appropriate use of the various models. … This is a competently written book, which should be of interest to researchers … . Material from this book could also be used in courses on Transportation Science, the application of Queueing Theory, the application of Graph Theory, and the application of Optimal Control.""
