This book describes a coherent approach to the explanation of the
movement of individual vehicles or groups of vehicles. To avoid
possible misunderstandings, some preliminary remarks are called
for. 1. This is intended to be a textbook. It brings together
methods and approaches that are widely distributed throughout the
literature and that are therefore difficult to assess. Text
citations of sources have been avoided; literature references are
listed together at the end of the book. 2. The book is intended
primarily for students of engineering. It describes the theoretical
background necessary for an understanding of the methods by which
links in a road network are designed and dimensioned or by which
traffic is controlled; the methods themselves are not dealt with.
It may also assist those actually working in such sectors to
interpret the results of traffic flow measure ments more accurately
than has hitherto been the case. 3. The book deals with traffic
flow on links between nodes, and not at nodes themselves. Many
readers will probably regret this, since nodes are usually the
bottlenecks which limit the capacity of the road network. A book
dedicated to the node would be the obvious follow-up. A separation
of link and node is justified, however, partly because the quantity
of material has to be kept within reasonable bounds and partly
because the treatment of traffic flow at nodes requires additional
mathematical techniques (in particular, those relating to queueing
theory)."
