MEASUREMENT OF ROAD TRAFFIC PARAMETERS

The growth in transportation needs and the development of road networks lead to an increase in traffic volume, which increases the demand for measurements of road traffic parameters. This book is a comprehensive guide to this field, covering aspects of safety, infrastructure management and environmental monitoring. It is an invaluable source of knowledge for traffic engineers, road managers and students.

• Road safety: Ensuring the safety of road users.
• Traffic monitoring: Information for road management systems.
• Environmental monitoring: Use of measurements to monitor the condition of the natural environment.
• Traffic modeling: Measurements are used to model and predict traffic development.
• Infrastructure planning: Use of measurements in planning the development of road infrastructure.

The book "Measurement of Road Traffic Parameters" is a compendium of knowledge that is addressed to a wide audience in the field of road traffic engineering. This publication is particularly important in the context of the dynamic development of transport and road infrastructure, where precise and reliable measurements are crucial for making strategic and operational decisions. The authors draw on their extensive experience and present both the theoretical foundations of measurements and the practical aspects of their application in various areas.

The publication discusses various measurement methods and techniques, from traditional manual methods to advanced systems using digital technologies and sensors. Particular emphasis is placed on the analysis of measurement data, the interpretation of results and their use in road traffic modeling. As a result, the reader gains a comprehensive knowledge of how to effectively collect, process and use information about road traffic in order to improve safety, efficiency and sustainable development of transport.

The book is also a valuable source of information for people responsible for the implementation of Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS), which play an increasingly important role in road traffic management. The publication shows how measurements of traffic parameters can be used to optimize the operation of ITS systems such as traffic control systems, driver information systems and decision support systems. This allows engineers and designers of ITS to better understand the needs of road users and adapt their solutions to changing conditions.

This book is not only an academic textbook, but also a practical guide for people working in the transport industry. Thanks to numerous examples and case studies, the reader can see how the theory translates into practical applications. In addition, the publication contains up-to-date information on applicable regulations and standards related to the measurement of road traffic parameters, which is particularly important for inspectors of the Road Transport Inspection and employees of GDDKiA.
