The first part (Chapters 1 - 3) shows how congestion reflects transportation technologies and settlement patterns. The second part (Chapters 4 - 13) describes the causes, characteristics, and consequences of congestion. The third part (Chapters 14 - 23) presents various relief strategies - including supply adaptation and demand mitigation - for nonrecurring and recurring congestion. The last part (Chapter 24) gives general guidelines for congestion relief and provides a general outlook for the future. The book will be useful for a wide audience - including students, practitioners and researchers in a variety of professional endeavors: traffic engineers, transportation planners, public transport specialists, city planners, public administrators, and private enterprises that depend on transportation for their activities.  . 410 0$aSpringer Tracts on Transportation and Traffic,$x2194-8119 ;$v7 606 $aEngineering economy 606 $aEngineering economy 606 $aCivil engineering 606 $aComputational complexity 606 $aTransportation 606 $aEngineering Economics, Organization, Logistics, Marketing$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T22016 606 $aCivil Engineering$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T23004 606 $aComplexity$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T11022 606 $aTransportation$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/119000 615 0$aEngineering economy. 615 0$aEngineering economy. 615 0$aCivil engineering. 615 0$aComputational complexity. 615 0$aTransportation. 615 14$aEngineering Economics, Organization, Logistics, Marketing. 615 24$aCivil Engineering. 615 24$aComplexity. 615 24$aTransportation. 676 $a388.314 700 $aFalcocchio$b John C$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0720680 702 $aLevinson$b Herbert S$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910299699503321 996 $aRoad Traffic Congestion: A Concise Guide$92507769 997 $aUNINA
