Urban Traffic Networks

Urban Traffic Networks offers a complete introduction to the theory, modelling, analysis and management of urban traffic networks, particularly for graduate and advanced undergraduate students in transport engineering and planning.It describes how traffic networks work, why congestion occurs, and how modern cities can improve mobility through improved planning, control, and management. It captures the entire field of urban traffic networks inside a single, integrated framework, combining the classical foundations of transportation science with many advances from the past four decades that are not covered in most existing textbooks. Addressing traffic networks, optimization, and intelligent transportation systems. Urban traffic is treated as a complex network system rather than simply as the movement of vehicles on individual roads.
