Urban Traffic Analysis and Control: The key challenges in the era of ITS (Transportation) - Tapa dura

Sinopsis

Urban Traffic Analysis and Control: The key challenges in the era of ITS explores urban traffic control strategies. It provides a comprehensive overview of traffic management methods, focusing on both static and dynamic applications. The book addresses issues related to transportation planning, or simpler cases where real-time adaptive control is not necessary, as well as traffic control applications based on real-time monitoring and dynamic models or data-driven methods for flow prediction.

Notably, this is the first book to address both fixed and adaptive signal-setting design, offering theory and practical applications at both the intersection and network-wide levels. It also incorporates the latest developments in Intelligent Transportation Systems, particularly how technologies impact traffic analysis and control. Additionally, the book discusses strategies for optimizing impacts related to safety, noise, fuel consumption, and emissions.

The four main topics covered are:

• Methods for estimating dynamic traffic flows and evaluating performance;
• Traffic control strategies, with a primary focus on signal coordination;
• The impact of emerging technologies on enhancing traffic signals and management;
• Methods for evaluating externalities (such as safety, emissions, energy consumption, and noise).

The book is intended to serve as a reference work for academic researchers and graduate students in the field of Intelligent Transportation Systems, as well as professionals and consultants working in this area.
