Monograph

This issue contains twelve papers concerning traffic flow theory and characteristics. Specific topics covered are as follows: car-following models for simulation of adaptive cruise control vehicles; calibrating the Robertson's platoon dispersion model on a coordinated corridor with advance warning flashers; and modeling decision making for merging maneuvers at freeway on-ramps. Additional topics include traffic state estimation for urban road networks; framework for deriving macroscopic demand functions from microscopic acceleration models; and real-time queue length estimation for signalized intersections. This issue also covers transferability of car-following models between driving simulator and field traffic; platooning strategy for connected and autonomous vehicles transitioning from light traffic; and route-choice modeling for pedestrian evacuation. Further topics include operational walking dynamics of crowds; spatiotemporal partitioning of transportation network; and cross-correlations in traffic networks.
