  2. Fundamental diagram of traffic flow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fundamental_diagram_of...

    If one of the vehicles brakes in unstable flow regime the flow will collapse. The primary tool for graphically displaying information in the study traffic flow is the fundamental diagram. Fundamental diagrams consist of three different graphs: flow-density, speed-flow, and speed-density. The graphs are two dimensional graphs.

  3. Traffic simulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traffic_simulation

    Traffic simulation or the simulation of transportation systems is the mathematical modeling of transportation systems (e.g., freeway junctions, arterial routes, roundabouts, downtown grid systems, etc.) through the application of computer software to better help plan, design, and operate transportation systems.

  4. Transportation planning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transportation_planning

    The contemporary Smeed Report on congestion pricing was initially promoted to manage demand but was deemed politically unacceptable. In more recent times, the approach has been caricatured as "predict and provide" to predict future transport demand and provide the network for it, usually by building more roads.

    More commonly, curve N 1 is known as the arrival curve of vehicles at location X 1 and curve N 2 is known as the arrival curve of vehicles at location X 2. Using a one-lane signalized approach to an intersection as an example, where X 1 is the location of the stop bar at the approach and X 2 is an arbitrary line on the receiving lane just ...

  6. Transportation forecasting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transportation_forecasting

    Transportation forecasting is the attempt of estimating the number of vehicles or people that will use a specific transportation facility in the future. For instance, a forecast may estimate the number of vehicles on a planned road or bridge, the ridership on a railway line, the number of passengers visiting an airport, or the number of ships calling on a seaport.

  7. Trip generation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trip_generation

    Trip generation is the first step in the conventional four-step transportation forecasting process used for forecasting travel demands. It predicts the number of trips originating in or destined for a particular traffic analysis zone (TAZ). [1]

    Towards the end of 2010, Beijing announced a series of drastic measures to tackle the city's chronic traffic congestion, such as limiting the number of new plates issued to passenger cars to 20,000 a month, barring vehicles with non-Beijing plates from entering areas within the Fifth Ring Road during rush hours and expanding its subway system.
