Author Description
This book deals with unsignalized intersections in road networks. It focuses on mathematical procedures for calculating capacity and quality of traffic flow as well as on the conversion of the theories into practicable calculation methods. The international progress and experience in this field of research is presented in contributions from 12 countries (USA, Canada, Australia, France, England, Sweden, Norway, Switzerland, Hungary, Poland, Israel, Germany). Taking the state of the art described in the 1988 workshop proceedings as a basis, this book describes the research activities undertaken and the new experiences accumulated since then. Special emphasis is laid upon recent scientific findings on international practice, traffic safety, and computer simulation. The traffic engineer who is primarily interested in applicable solutions is provided with practicable calculation methods.
