Road traffic and its impacts affect all aspects of modern life,
leisure and industry, with safety, congestion and pollution being
of greatest public concern. Transport planning increasingly
emphasises travel demand management (TDM) and traffic calming -
aided by dynamic, lower cost data from Intelligent Transport
Systems (ITS) - to enable real time monitoring, control and
traveller information. This second edition of a highly successful
work has been fully updated since its first publication in 1996 to
reflect developments in technology available to the traffic analyst
and in the social, ecological and economic environment. New
sections are included on shockwaves, data capture without surveys,
traffic incidents, delay estimation, off-line use of on-line data,
environmental sensitivity, and controlled crash tests. The authors
introduce and demonstrate techniques with which the analyst,
engineer or planner can examine traffic problems. The underlying
theme is that proper understanding of traffic systems performance
and traffic problems can only come from the intelligent processing,
refinement, appraisal and evaluation of traffic data. Arranged in
five parts, the book offers an integrated approach to tackling road
traffic problems: c How to gain information and understanding about
traffic c The theories of traffic flow c The principles of good
survey planning and management c Specific types of traffic studies
c Analytical techniques for transforming raw data into useful
information. Understanding Traffic Systems provides cogent insights
into the techniques of traffic data collection and analysis, the
application of traffic theory and the role of data in analysis and
decision making. Its breadth and use of examples from several
countries make it a useful reference text for students and
researchers, as well as an essential tool for practising traffic
engineers and planners.
