The Physics of Traffic: Empirical Freeway Pattern Features, Engineering Applications, and Theory (Understanding Complex Systems) - Softcover
Inhaltsangabe
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, and explanations based on the three-phase traffic theory. The book consists of four parts. In Part I, empirical studies of traffic flow patterns, earlier traffic flow theories, and mathematical models are briefly reviewed. Three-phase traffic theory is considered as well. This theory is a qualitative theory. Main ideas and results of the three-phase traffic flow the ory will be introduced and explained without complex mathematical models. This should be suitable for a very broad audience of practical engineers, physicists, and other readers who may not necessarily be specialists in traf fic flow problems, and who may not necessarily have worked in the field of spatiotemporal pattern formation. In Part II, empirical spatiotemporal traffic pattern features are consid ered. A microscopic three-phase traffic theory of these patterns and results of an application of the pattern features to engineering applications are pre sented in Part III and Part IV, respectively.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor
Boris S. Kerner was born in Moscow in 1947 and graduated from Moscow Technical University MIREA in 1972. He received the Ph.D. and Sc.D. (Doctor of Sciences) degrees from the Academy of Sciences of the Soviet Union in 1979 and 1986, respectively. Between 1972 and 1992, his major research interests included the physics of semiconductors, plasma and solid-state physics as well as the development of a theory of autosolitons - solitary intrinsic states, which form in a broad class of physical, chemical and biological dissipative systems. Since 1992, he worked on understanding vehicular traffic at Daimler Company in Stuttgart, Germany. He is the pioneer of the three-phase traffic theory, which he introduced and developed in 1996-2002. Between 2000 and 2013, he was Head of Traffic, a field of research at Daimler. In 2011, he was appointed Professor at the University of Duisburg-Essen in Germany. Since his retirement from Daimler in 2013, Prof. Kernerhas been working at the University of Duisburg-Essen. He authored more than 260 scientific works and patents as well as five books that are devoted to a variety of physical systems, complex dynamics of traffic flow in traffic and transportation networks, applications of diverse intelligent transportation systems for traffic prognosis, traffic control, dynamic traffic assignment as well as to the study of autonomous and connected vehicles in mixed traffic flow.

This book is devoted to the explanation of freeway traffic congestion, a fact of life for many car drivers. Results of empirical observations of freeway congestion, which exhibit diverse complex spatiotemporal patterns including moving traffic jams, are analyzed. Empirical features of these reproducible freeway traffic patterns only recently sufficiently well understood are reviewed. In the first part, three-phase traffic theory can be found, which is the basis for a physical theory of traffic phenomena and its applications in engineering. In the second part, the empirical spatiotemporal patterns are examined and, finally in parts III and IV, the mathematical model and the engineering applications are addressed. The Physics of Traffic addresses researchers and practitioners alike.
