Breakdown in Traffic Networks: Fundamentals of Transportation Science By Boris S. KernerEnglish | PDF | 2017 | 671 Pages | ISBN : 3662544717 | 25 MB
This book offers a detailed investigation of breakdowns in traffic and transportation networks. It shows empirically that transitions from free flow to so-called synchronized flow, initiated by local disturbances at network bottlenecks, display a nucleation-type behavior: while small disturbances in free flow decay, larger ones grow further and lead to breakdowns at the bottlenecks.
