This document evaluate congestion propagation and dynamic partitioning with probe data for large-scale systems; network fundamental diagrams using three-dimensional vehicle trajectories; dynamics of an urban network traffic flow during a large-scale evacuation; and the consistency of freeway macroscopic merging models. This issue also examines a clustering approach for assessing the travel time variability of arterial; new generic multi-class kinematic wave traffic flow models; a comprehensive framework for estimating traffic stream flow rates past moving bottlenecks; and reliability models in freeway networks. Additionally, this Transportation Research Record (TRR) explores estimations of queue length at signalized intersections; analytical derivation of capacity at diverging junctions; use of travel time data to generate aggregated measures of traffic; and jam occupancy and other lingering problems with empirical fundamental relationships. Finally, this TRR reviews automated driving, traffic flow efficiency, and human factors; comprehensive approaches for the sensitivity analysis of high-dimensional and computationally expensive traffic simulation models; calibration, estimation, and sampling issues of car-following parameters; and vehicle time headways and speeds on rural two-lane, two-way roads.
