Monograph

This issue contains 15 papers concerned with the subject of traffic flow theory and characteristics. Specific topics discussed include the following: modeling gap acceptance behavior of drivers turning left at signalized intersections; driving behavior in emergency situations; modeling driver behavior; driver anticipation in car following; phase transition model based on driver reaction time and sensitivity; integrated lane change model; model for pedestrian-vehicle interactions at road crossings; calibration of pedestrian simulation model for emergency doors by pedestrian type; influence of midblock pedestrian crossings on street capacity; exit choice decisions during pedestrian evacuations of buildings; dynamic simulation assignment model for pedestrian movements in crowded networks; microsimulation of congestion effects on risk by experienced drivers; microsimulation of shared space zones (cars, bicycles, pedestrians); microscopic traffic simulation model of signalized intersections for safety assessment; and numerical analysis for adaptive traffic simulation.
