Traffic Flow Theory

Traffic Flow Theory is primairly addressed to graduate students in traffic engineering, but is also intended to be a reference book and an introduction to traffic flow theory in general. The 10 chapters of this book cover aspects of measurement, statistical distributions, models, information processing, noise and simulations. The various methods of measurement currently available to the traffic engineer are considered, and the definitions of characteristics are related to these methods of measurement. Methods of averaging are also considered. The quantities to statistical distributions of various traffic characteristics are considered, as well as the uses of distributions.
