Scientific Study of Road Traffic Flow

The book "Scientific Study of Road Traffic Flow" by Tasuku Takagi offers a comprehensive analysis of traffic flow dynamics using the Weber-Fechner law. It examines the mathematical relationship between the applied stimulus and human perception, supported by empirical data on speed and distance. The work opens new perspectives on the temporal analysis of traffic flow by measuring the speed and time gap of each vehicle. Additionally, a theoretical approach to avoiding and predicting traffic jams is presented. The book also provides a fundamental theory of the time-space diagram, which allows for a simple and clear understanding of complex traffic flows. It addresses specific issues of traffic congestion in urban and suburban areas with intersections and offers approaches to evaluate traffic flow activity that are significant for the economic society.
