Synopsis

Based on the proceedings of the 2nd International Conference on Mathematics in Transport Planning and Control, this book brings together papers from mathematicians, engineers and town planners on the mathematical modelling of traffic flow, choice of mode of transport, and choice of planning of routes. The case studies presented include mathematical optimization in the design and operation of signal-controlled road junctions; stochastic models for predicting choice of route and the planning of airport transit systems. Additional topics covered include accident prevention, the planning of motorways, considerations for country roads and the problems of inner city traffic. The case studies are not concerned only with cars: there are studies on bus traffic, safety measures for pedestrian traffic, provision for cyclists, and for airport ground handling staff.
