This volume presents many valuable tips for making decisions related to road traffic in transport networks. The knowledge base in practical examples, as well as the decision support systems described in this volume, will find interest among people who face the daily challenge of searching for solutions in the area of road traffic research, analysis, and modeling. The publication is therefore addressed to local authorities related to the planning and development of strategies for selected areas with regard to transport (both in the urban and regional dimension), and to representatives of business and industry, as people directly involved in the implementation of traffic engineering solutions. The tips contained in individual sections of the publication will allow to look at a given problem in an advanced way and facilitate the selection of the appropriate strategy (among others, in relation to the smart mobility operation at signalized intersection level, studies the influence of health on travel mode choice to work, enhanced bl-based positioning system in road, estimation of energy consumption in case of a special off-road vehicle for people with special needs or the use of large data sets known as big data in modeling and traffic management processes). In turn, due to a new approach to theoretical models (including, inter alia, problems of pedestrian traffic on a pedestrian drawbridge, preference of electric cars using traffic lights, as well as probability of vehicle collision with road safety barriers), the publication will also interest scientists and researchers carrying out research in this area.
The publication entitled "Road Traffic Research, Analysis, and Modeling" contains selected papers submitted to and presented at the 20th ”Transport Systems. Theory and Practice” Scientific and Technical Conference organized by the Department of Transport Systems, Traffic Engineering and Logistics at the Faculty of Transport and Aviation Engineering at the Silesian University of Technology. The conference took place on September 10-11, 2024 in Katowice (Poland).
