Failure of classical traffic flow theories: Stochastic highway capacity and automatic driving
BS Kerner - Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications, 2016 - Elsevier
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 …

A three-dimensional macroscopic fundamental diagram for mixed bi-modal urban networks
Recent research has studied the existence and the properties of a macroscopic fundamental
diagram (MFD) for large urban networks. The MFD should not be universally expected as …

Cruising-for-parking in congested cities with an MFD representation
N Geroliminis - Economics of Transportation, 2015 - Elsevier
It has been recently proposed and tested that traffic in large urban regions (neighbourhoods)
can be modelled dynamically at an aggregate level, if the neighbourhoods are uniformly …
