Traffic and Granular Flow '99: Social, Traffic, and Granular Dynamics

From a physical standpoint, all these systems can be treated as (self)-driven many-particle systems with strong fluctuations, showing multistability, phase transitions, non-linear waves, etc. The great interest in these systems is due to several unexpected new discoveries & their practical relevance for solving some fundamental problems of today's societies. This includes intelligent measures for traffic flow optimization & methods from "econophysics" for stabilizing (stock) markets.Traffic and Granular Flow '99: Social, Traffic, and Granular Dynamics, was published 2000 under ISBN 9783540670919 and ISBN 3540670912.
