Summary:

The inaugural volume of a new series on Transport Systems and Traffic Engineering Intersections Control & Safety helps to bridge the gap between research and practice, encouraging a critical dialogue on various specific subjects, spanning innovation, development and technology transfer. Those who offer innovation often do not meet the immediate needs of practitioners, especially in the traditional field of civil engineering. Still, the adequate diffusion of research results and wisdom derived from practical experience are crucial to both theoretical underpinnings and technical applications. Th
