Bücher von Carlos F. Daganzo

"... a well structured and documented book that certainly reflects the new era of logistics." Two new sections, a new appendix, and more than half a dozen new figures. Provides new concept for an integrated examination of logistics systemsFeatures "reasonable" solutions requiring as little information as possible

Presents the basic concepts in the transportation and traffic operations field. This book contains chapters on "tools", covering topics such as graphical methods, optimization, probability, stochastic processes, statistics and simulation, which are complemented by application chapters on traffic dynamics, control, observation, and scheduled modes.

Since inventory chains are "conservative" systems analogous to a traffic stream, and since traffic flow models exhibit similar effects (the instability of automobile platoons and of certain numerical methods being two nota ble examples)' I suspected that traffic flow theory might shed some light on the puzzle.
