Subject(s):

DDC classification:

388.31 KER-I

Contents:

1.Three-Phase Traffic Theory.-- 2. Definitions of The Three Traffic Phases.-- 3. Nature of Traffic Breakdown at Bottleneck.-- 4. Infinite Number of Highway Capacities of Free Flow at Bottleneck.-- 5. Nature of Moving Jam Emergence.-- 6. Origin of Hypotheses and Terms of Three-Phase Traffic Theory.-- 7. Spatiotemporal Traffic Congested Patterns.- II Impact of Three-Phase Traffic Theory on.- to-- Part II:Compendium of Three-Phase Traffic Theory.-- 8. Freeway Traffic Control based on Three-Phase Traffic Theory.-- 9. Earlier Theoretical Basis of Transportation Engineering: Fundamental Diagram Approach.-- 10. Three-Phase Traffic Flow Models.-- 11. Linking of Three-Phase Traffic Theory and Fundamental Diagram Approach to Traffic Flow Modeling.

Summary: This in-depth treatment explains the nature of traffic breakdown and the resulting congestion in vehicular traffic on the basis of three-phase traffic theory, in a manner consistent with real measured traffic data. The author also addresses freeway traffic control methods within the framework of the theory. He demonstrates and explains why the earlier theoretical basis of transportation engineering, research and teaching cannot adequately describe traffic breakdown as observed in measured traffic data. Links between three-phase traffic theory and earlier traffic flow theories are discussed.
