About this book

Transportation is the lifeblood of modern society, connecting people, goods, and information across the world. However, as our cities grow and the demand for transportation increases, it becomes imperative to understand and manage the intricate dynamics of the transportation ecosystem. This book provides an in-depth exploration of the complex dynamics of transportation systems, with a focus on modeling and control strategies that can enhance efficiency, sustainability, and resilience. It is an indispensable resource for transportation engineers, researchers, students, and professionals seeking a comprehensive understanding of the complex dynamics at play in transportation systems. By delving into advanced modeling techniques, control strategies, and sustainability considerations, this book equips readers with the knowledge needed to navigate and optimize the evolving transportation landscape. This book offers a comprehensive examination of the interconnected elements within the transportation ecosystem, including vehicles, infrastructure, traffic flow, and emerging technologies. It explores advanced modeling and simulation techniques for understanding and predicting transportation system behavior, discussing control strategies that can be applied to optimize transportation systems, enhancing safety, and mitigating congestion, addressing the challenges of sustainability and resilience in transportation, including the integration of eco-friendly technologies and disaster response.
