 Abstract

When do traffi c jams emerge? Can we predict, given certain demand levels, when queuing will occur, how long the queues will be, how they will propagate in space and time and how long it will take for the congestion to resolve? Why does an overloaded traffic network underperform? This chapter gives a basic introduction to traffic flow theory which can help to answer these kinds of questions.
