In a mini-review Kerner (2013) it has been shown that classical traffic flow theories and
models failed to explain empirical traffic breakdown—a phase transition from metastable …

It is explained why the set of the fundamental empirical features of traffic breakdown (a
transition from free flow to congested traffic) should be the empirical basis for any traffic and …

Personal mobility vehicles (PMVs) have increasingly attracted research interest as new
individual transportation vehicles that are environmentally friendly, compact, and convenient …

Real data show that reserving a lane for carpools on congested freeways induces a
smoothing effect that is characterized by significantly higher bottleneck discharge flows …

Traffic congestion is a major problem in megacities which increases vehicle emissions and
degrades ambient air quality. Various models have been developed to address the …

We review physical results of applications of the breakdown minimization (BM) principle
versus applications of the classical Wardrop's equilibria (Wardrop's user equilibrium (UE) …

This paper analyzes urban multimodal transportation systems in an aggregated way. To
describe the aggregate behavior of traffic in cities, use is made of an idea that is now …

Stop-and-go waves, also called phantom jams, are often observed in real traffic flows but
can be produced neither by the classical Lighthill–Whitham–Richards (LWR) model nor by …

To land, flying animals must simultaneously reduce speed and control their path to the
target. While the control of approach speed has been studied in many different animals, little …

Estimated travel speed based on spot speed measurements from detectors has been used
as a proxy to actual travel speed. Recently, actual travel speeds become available as …
