A Concise Introduction to Traffic Engineering - Mauro, Raffaele

. .

Résumé :
The book covers the fundamental topics of traffic engineering useful for highways facilities design and control. It examines the most recent and crucial theoretical aspects which are at the root of numerous highway engineering applications, such as the essential aspects of highways traffic stream reliability calculation and automated highway systems control....
