Buch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - 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 alternative traf c ow theory called three-phase traf c theory, which can predict and explain the empirical spatiot- poral features of traf c breakdown and the resulting traf c congestion. A previous book 'The Physics of Traf c' (Springer, Berlin, 2004) presented a discussion of the empirical spatiotemporal features of congested traf c patterns and of three-phase traf c theory as well as their engineering applications. Rather than a comprehensive analysis of empirical and theoretical results in the eld, the present book includes no more empirical and theoretical results than are necessary for the understanding of vehicular traf c on unsignalized multi-lane roads. The main objectives of the book are to present an 'elementary' traf c ow theory and control methods as well as to show links between three-phase traf c t- ory and earlier traf c ow theories. The need for such a book follows from many commentsofcolleaguesmadeafterpublicationofthebook'ThePhysicsofTraf c'. …
