TRB’s Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, No. 2188 contains 19 papers that explore freeway merging and diverging effects on traffic oscillations, mesoscopic modeling of bus transit operations, modeling the effect of weather on traffic flow breakdown, multiclass kinematic wave model, and car-following models. This issue of the TRR also examines multistate model of travel time reliability, macroscopic characteristics of lane-changing traffic, intradriver heterogeneity in car-following, onset of congestion from low-speed merging maneuvers, merging behavior at freeway on-ramps, multiclass traffic flow model, cellular automata model for work zone traffic, modeling vehicular merging behavior, site-specific stochastic freeway breakdown and queue discharge, effect of light from vehicle windows on traffic flow, traffic density estimation along signalized arterials, and causal factors that play a role in car-following behavior.
