6 Preface This book shows the history of traffic flow modelling from the perspective of modern day applications. Traffic flow models describe how vehicles travel over roads, at which speeds, what the distance is between them, how long they take to travel over a certain road section, etc. Combining the models with other information supports estimations about current and future traffic states. This allows answering questions about the presence and duration of congestion, travel times and travel time delays, emissions and safety assessment. In turn, the information can be used in a variety of applications including transportation planning and traffic control. This book shows the historical development of traffic flow theory by means of a genealogical tree of traffic flow models. The tree, included on page 15, shows the main developments in traffic flow modelling. The focus on the history of traffic flow models gives the reader insight into the basics of traffic flow modelling all through to the most advanced models that are currently under development. In addition, the book discusses numerical methods which are applied to create computer simulations based on the traffic flow models. The history of traffic flow modelling starts in the 1930s. Bruce D. Greenshields presented his findings about the relationship between vehicle speed and the distance between vehicles at the Annual Meeting of the Highway Research Board (United States). Even though he had some predecessors doing similar research, Greenshields is often considered the founder of Traffic Flow Theory. The 1940s were a relatively quiet time for traffic flow theory, but from the mid 1950s many new models were introduced. Most of these new models include dynamics of traffic flow, i.e. they describe how traffic flows change over time, due to for examples changes in inflow of vehicles or traffic lights changing colour. Different types of models were developed and applied for road design. However, research in this area mostly stalled again in the 1980s. Faster and easier to use computers brought a new era of traffic flow research from the mid-1990s, resulting in most of the models that are still applied today. Many of today s applications require efficient numerical methods for fast and accurate predictions. Applications include transportation planning, road design, safety assessment, environmental assessment, traffic management, evacuation planning and route advice. vii
7 viii Preface Previous versions of this work were published as the state-of-the-art chapter in the author s PhD dissertation (2013) and as a review article in the EURO Journal on Transportation and Logistics (2015). The book format gives more space to provide more basics, to go more in depth into the most important aspects of traffic flow modelling and simulation, and to include problem sets that will reinforce the newly gained knowledge and insights of the reader. Furthermore, the most recent developments in the field of traffic flow theory have been included. The book aims at students (MSc and PhD), researchers and practitioners who want to learn more about the background of the models they are applying. No preliminary knowledge about traffic is assumed. Some background in calculus and differential equations is required, but references will be given for those who need to refresh their knowledge. Problem sets are included at the end of each chapter, with answers to selected problems in Chap. 8. Some of the exercises require the reader to perform simulations, for which software is provided online, at the publisher s website ( Some previous experience with Octave (or Matlab) is useful for these exercises. After reading the book and exploring some of the problems, readers will understand the main concepts in traffic flow modelling and simulation in such a way that they can (1) choose an appropriate model for their research or other application and build a simple but useful simulation tool based on this model; (2) understand a newly published scientific article that builds on traffic flow theory, modelling and simulation presented in this book, review that article and apply the models/methods that are presented; (3) start developing their own models and numerical methods to create new branches of the model tree.

8 Acknowledgements The seeds of expanding the idea of the genealogical model tree into something to be used in education were planted during my PhD research. When the editors of this series, Grazia Speranza and José Fernando Oliveira, invited me to write a proposal, I was reminded of the encouragements from Serge Hoogendoorn and Robert Bertini and I decided to accept. After my proposal was accepted, also Christian Rauscher from Springer was always quick to respond to any of my questions. Also thanks to the colleagues in Delft who gave valuable feedback on draft versions of (parts of) this book, Serge Hoogendoorn, Hans van Lint, Simeon Calvert and Meng Wang. When working on this book, I have been writing at many different places, surrounded by even more different people. Many days I found inspiration and motivation from going to the shared office of our Personal Development Network and working in the same room as likeminded other expat partners. Thank you Steven, Eveline, Tina, Chris, Hanna, Emma and Maryam for just being there and the many coffees outside! On other days I went to the German University of Technology in Oman, to be around other academics: it was always worth the long drive and I made good progress among my now colleagues to be. Thank you Heba, Amjaad, Osman, Amaani and all interns for the hospitality! Still, all this time spent outside the house was not enough and I often worked at home, only to be disturbed in case of blood or fire, which fortunately never happened. I am forever thankful to Rosa who has been a great help and caretaker for our children during these times. The last bit of progress was made not in Muscat, but in Delft, among colleagues and friends at Delft University of Technology. Also thank you for your hospitality! Finally, a big thanks to my family, mam, pap, Mia, Giel, Manon and Niels, who have been encouraging me and giving me space to grow during calm and tumultuous times. And of course thanks and hugs to those who helped me keep a balance between all this serious stuff and love, fun, play and adventure: Emma, Julia and Sofie. ix
