Monograph

This issue contains 14 papers concerned with traffic flow theory and characteristics. Specific topics addressed include: driver response and traffic evolution under variable speed limit control; network traffic signal control; crowd movement dynamics at signalized pedestrian crossings; modeling travel time variability; desired speed distributions for microscopic traffic simulation; microscopic simulation of synchronized flow in oversaturated city traffic; and real-time travel time prediction framework. Additional topics covered include: collective pedestrian flow characteristics; pedestrian crowd merging; pedestrian crowd exit choice; time headway-vehicle speed bivariate distributions; left-lane changes in laterally unbalanced traffic; driver behavior in work and nonwork zones; and lateral driver behavior in lane-changing executions.
