Brief introduction to Road Capacity Theory

"Road Capacity Theory" systematically introduces the basic concepts, principles and methods of road capacity. It also incorporates the latest research results at home and abroad, and incorporates new technical standards.

The main contents include road sections, ramps, interweaving areas, toll stations, the capacity of intersections, public transportation facilities, bicycle lanes, pedestrian facilities and the application of traffic simulation technology in capacity analysis.

"Road Capacity Theory" can be used as a reference textbook for undergraduates and graduates in transportation engineering, transportation and other majors in colleges and universities, and can also be used as a reference for relevant scientific and technical personnel engaged in engineering fields such as traffic rules, design, construction and management.
