In recent years, the transport simulation of large road networks has become far more rapid and detailed, and many exciting developments in this field have emerged.Within this volume, the authors describe the simulation of automobile, pedestrian, and rail traffic coupled to new applications, such as the embedding of traffic simulation into driving simulators, to give a more realistic environment of driverbehaviorsurroundingthe subject vehicle. New approaches to trafficsimulationare described, including the hybrid mesoscopic-microscopic model and floor-field agent-based simulation. Written by an invited panel of experts, this bookaddresses students, engineers, and scholars, as well as anyone who needs a state-of-the-art overview of transport simulation today.
