Preface
This book shows the history of traffic flow modelling from the perspective of modern day applications. Traffic flow models describe how vehicles travel over roads, at which speeds, what the distance is between them, how long they take to travel over a certain road section, etc. Combining the models with other information supports estimations about current and future traffic states. This allows answering questions about the presence and duration of congestion, travel times and travel time delays, emissions and safety assessment. In turn, the information can be used in a variety of applications including tran
