Traffic Flow Theory and Characteristics

TRB’s Technical Activities Division standing committees are communities of individuals who share an interest and expertise in transportation. The Technical Activities Council and the Centennial Task Force invited all standing committees to submit a Centennial Paper as part of the celebration. The Centennial Papers showcase TRB’s standing committees’ past accomplishments and contributions to transportation, demonstrate the committee’s current relevancy and activities, and consider the committee’s role in meeting future challenges and opportunities. This paper was submitted by the Standing Committee on Traffic Flow Theory and Characteristics (AHB45).
