Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, No. 1965 is divided into three parts. Part 1: Traffic Flow Theory and Characteristics addresses such topics as an analysis of bottleneck activation on German autobahns and an adaptive approach to short-term traffic flow prediction that accounts for disruptive factors. Part 2: Car-Following Models presents research on an alternative paradigm for traffic dynamics models appropriate for traffic simulation; car-following behavior of individual drivers in traffic; and estimating traffic delays caused by lane-change maneuvers. Part 3: Traffic Simulation, Cell Transmission, and Measurement contains research on the development of credible and valid simulation models of two unconventional traffic circles in New Jersey; a model for studying the impact of traffic camera quantity on the precision of estimated travel times on a road in the French Alps; and more.
