State-of-the-art in traffic flow research and microscopic traffic analysis and traffic simulation have significantly advanced and are also discussed in this text. Real world examples and useful problem sets complement each chapter. This textbook is meant for use in advanced undergraduate/graduate level courses in traffic flow theory with prerequisites including two semesters of calculus, statistics, and an introductory course in transportation. The text would also be of interest to transportation professionals as a refresher in traffic flow theory, or as a reference.  Students and engineers of diverse backgrounds will find this text accessible and applicable to today’s traffic issues.Springer Optimization and Its Applications,1931-6828 ;84Mathematical optimizationCivil engineeringOptimizationhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M26008Civil Engineeringhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T23004Mathematical optimization.Civil engineering.Optimization.Civil Engineering.388.31Elefteriadou Lilyauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut721739MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910300148803321Introduction to traffic flow theory1410616UNINAThis Record contains information from the Harvard Library Bibliographic Dataset, which is provided by the Harvard Library under its Bibliographic Dataset Use Terms and includes data made available by, among others the Library of Congress
