TRAFFIC-FLOW THEORY
暂无分享,去创建一个
Traffic-flow theories seek to describe in a precise mathematical way the interactions among vehicles, drivers, and the infrastructure. This article outlines the revised "Monograph on Traffic Flow Theory," which can be viewed on the Turner-Fairbank Highway Research Center Web site (www.tfhrc.gov/its/tft/tft.htm/). This report is an updated and expanded version of two previous works that were sponsored by the Transportation Research Board and its predecessor, the Highway Research Board. The revised monograph includes new developments in traffic-flow theory since 1975. Chapter 3 (Human Factors) and chapter 5 (Continuum Flow Models) are two completely new chapters in this report. All chapters deal with issues on a much broader basis than the previous reports. More importantly, issues of, and application to, intelligent transportation systems are discussed in the chapters to the extent possible. The Traffic Simulation chapter is expanded from the microscopic simulation model to the mesoscopic and macroscopic simulation models, and the simulation-based traffic assignment is expanded to address time-dependent traffic assignment issues.
