Monograph

This issue contains 12 papers on traffic flow theory and characteristics. Specific topics covered are as follows: capacity drops at merges on multilane freeways; applying calibration methods to stochastic traffic models; calibration of the fundamental diagram based on loop and probe data; and data assimilation using a mesoscopic Lighthill-Whitham-Richards model and loop detector data. Additional topics include analysis of signal coordination impacts on macroscopic fundamental diagram; effect of traffic modeling on control of traffic networks; integrated optimization and simulation framework for large-scale crowd management application; and identifying latent classes of pedestrian crowd evacuees. This issue also covers modeling driver behavior in a connected environment; effects of dynamic speed limits on a Dutch freeway; application of Bayesian stochastic learning automata for modeling lane choice behavior on high-occupancy toll lanes; and new extended discrete first-order model to reproduce propagation of jam waves.
