Monograph

This issue contains 13 papers on traffic flow theory and characteristics. Specific topics covered in this issue include the following: trajectory data and flow characteristics of mixed traffic; network exit functions for urban grid network configurations; real-time traffic network state prediction for proactive traffic management; scooter-vehicle mixed traffic propagation; traffic state estimation; driving type categorizing and microscopic simulation model calibration; and estimating typical vehicle accelerations. Additional topics covered in this issue include: capacity drop; spatiotemporal clustering of urban networks; traffic relaxation, anticipation, and hysteresis; a multiscale traffic flow model based on mesoscopic Lighthill-Whitham and Richards models; a large-scale hybrid simulation model; and macroscopic fundamental diagram hysteresis patterns for hierarchical urban street networks.
