KATHOLIEKE UNIVERSITEIT LEUVEN ii Preface This part of the course Basics of Traffic Engineering (H111) deals with the theory of traffic flow. This theory studies the dynamic properties of traffic on road sections. We begin this course with a theoretical framework in which the characteristics of traffic flow are described at the microscopic level. We then examine a number of dynamic models that were formulated on the basis of empirical research. We conclude with a discussion of some recent observations on congestion. The theories and models that will be discussed are developed on the basis of numerous observations on motorways. There is a difference between motorways and lower order roads such as provincial roads and urban streets. For the latter it are the intersections that dominate flow characteristics to a large degree. Traffic flow on intersections is the subject of a separate workshop on Signal-Controlled Intersections (H112).
