The treatment is concise but it does not neglect to examine the most recent and crucial theoretical aspects which are at the root of numerous highway engineering applications, like, for instance, the essential aspects of highways traffic stream reliability calculation and automated highway systems control.

Questo libro contiene una selezione di argomenti di base di Teoria del Traffico impiegati in Ingegneria Stradale e di specifico interesse applicativo tecnico e scientifico. La trattazione è sintetica e resa semplificata per offrire al lettore una visione generale dei più comuni problemi affrontati in Ingegneria del Traffico. Non vengono comunque trascurati alcuni degli aspetti teorici di più recente acquisizione che risultano fondamentali in diverse applicazioni di Ingegneria Stradale: ad esempio, quelle riguardanti l'affidabilità del deflusso autostradale e il controllo automatizzato dei sistemi autostradali.Per una migliore comprensione degli argomenti teorici, sono forniti diversi esempi e alcuni casi studio sia per le condizioni di deflusso ininterrotto (autostrade e strade ad esse assimilabili), sia per quelle di deflusso interrotto (intersezioni a raso regolamentate da precedenza e semaforizzate).Con questo libro gli autori intendono fornire a studenti e professionisti i fondamenti teorici di ingegneria del traffico, la cui conoscenza è oggi sempre più necessaria per poter utilizzare consapevolmente i software specialistici di microsimulazione del traffico che si impiegano in diverse applicazioni di ingegneria stradale.In definitiva, il libro è di specifico interesse per studenti, ricercatori, pianificatori e progettisti dei sistemi e delle infrastrutture di trasporto.

This book deals in a basic and systematic manner with the fundamentals of random function theory and looks at some aspects related to arrival, vehicle headway and operational speed processes at the same time. The work serves as a useful practical and educational tool and aims at providing stimulus and motivation to investigate issues of such a strong applicative interest. It has a clearly discursive and concise structure, in which numerical examples are given to clarify the applications of the suggested theoretical model. Some statistical characterizations are fully developed in order to illustrate the peculiarities of specific modeling approaches; finally, there is a useful bibliography for in-depth thematic analysis.

Roundabouts have become one of the most significant traffic control measures because they are generally statistically safer and more efficient than traditional at grade intersections. This book is dedicated to the evaluation of the operating conditions of roundabouts. In five parts, it thoroughly illustrates the calculation of the capacity, including reliability, and waiting phenomena parameters, such as the times spent in the system and queue lengths. Fully worked examples are included throughout the chapters, with detailed explanations.
