and Budapest developed a mathematical model revealing that traffic jams are caused by idiots. Okay‚ not exactly. The real explanation is that unexpected events‚ such as being cut off‚ require slowing below a threshold speed for smooth traffic flow. As we’ve all observed‚ when the car in front of you brakes suddenly‚ you need to brake even harder to compensate for your reaction time; this creates a wave that radiates back through traffic. That "backward-traveling-wave" means that because of one driver’s

Car accident injuries The most common type of personal injury suffered in car accidents is whiplash and it is estimated that as many as 250‚000 Britons are affected by it every year.

Traffic Modeling Traffic modeling in a sense is an overview of general traffic flow calculations. It provides a blueprint and a layout of incoming and outgoing traffic with a formula to calculate the timing of overall cars involved within the traffic flow. With the vast roads and streets managing traffic can be difficult without the proper calculations. Mathematical functions can be ways to express simplicity with the eliminations of difficult equations through the use of practical formulas.

1913 and 1921‚ a number of versions of traffic signaling devices‚ both mechanical and automated‚ were patented by various inventors. Of these‚ only a few saw production or implementation on public roads. Morgan’s device first patented in 1923‚ was a hand-cranked‚ manually operated mechanical semaphore signal.[7] His device had two key safety features: having an intermediate "all stop" signal state to give moving traffic time to stop before signaling cross traffic to proceed‚ and having a "half mast"
