Traffic-flow models are focused on the interactions between the various driver-vehicle elements as expressed in vehicle movements. The interactions are defined and put in manageable terms by means of traffic-flow models. Vehicle movements, combined in this project into traffic-flow characteristics, depend on the traffic volume wanting to use a given facility at a given moment, characteristics of drivers, vehicle and roads and the circumstances. Countermeasures can be aimed directly at vehicle movements or can influence them via these factors. Traffic-flow characteristics or specific changes in them can also be related to traffic-quality aspects including road safety. In this way, a model is obtained that deals with the relationship between countermeasures and changes in quality aspects via the intermediate stage of vehicle movements. This booklet contains the complete text of Part I and X of the State of the Art report; further it also contains an index of all the literature referred to in the report, listed according to subject matter.
