The study of traffic flow dynamics and modelling represents a cornerstone of modern transport engineering, integrating theoretical formulations with practical applications to mitigate congestion, ...

This chapter presents the results of the literature review for operational traffic simulation models. Sources compiled for the literature review include guidance documents (general and DOT-specific), ...

Early in the 1969 film "Midnight Cowboy," Dustin Hoffman, playing the character of Ratso Rizzo, crosses a Manhattan street ...

Most traffic jams are unnecessary, and this deeply irks mathematicians who specialize in traffic flow. They reserve particular vitriol for local transport engineers. “They do not have competencies in ...

Traffic congestion and its inherent stochasticity continue to challenge urban mobility worldwide. To address this, researchers have introduced a groundbreaking framework for modeling the Stochastic ...

Roadway safety continues to be a major public health concern. Recent statistics show that more than 30,000 fatalities occur due to motor vehicle accidents, and in the year 2012, motor vehicle crashes ...

Everyone hates traffic. Big cities in particular are plagued by an overabundance of vehicles, turning a simple crosstown jaunt into an odyssey during rush hour. Part of the problem is that traffic is ...

WASHINGTON, March 21, 2023 – Transportation systems in urban settings are vulnerable to a variety of factors including weather, traffic congestion, and special events. Bottlenecks, in particular, can ...

Traffic flow modelling and dynamics are at the forefront of efforts to understand and optimise urban transport systems. The field integrates theoretical and computational approaches to depict and ...
