The first part of the book provides a pedagogical introduction to
the physics of complex systems driven far from equilibrium. In this
part we discuss the basic concepts and theoretical techniques which
are commonly used to study classical stochastic transport in
systems of interacting driven particles. The analytical techniques
include mean-field theories, matrix product ansatz, renormalization
group, etc. and the numerical methods are mostly based on computer
simulations. In the second part of the book these concepts and
techniques are applied not only to vehicular traffic but also to
transport and traffic-like phenomena in living systems ranging from
collective movements of social insects (for example, ants) on
trails to intracellular molecular motor transport. These
demonstrate the conceptual unity of the fundamental principles
underlying the apparent diversity of the systems and the utility of
the theoretical toolbox of non-equilibrium statistical mechanics in
interdisciplinary research far beyond the traditional disciplinary
boundaries of physics.
