Summary

Traffic Signal Systems explores the science and management behind urban traffic control, vital for road safety and efficiency. It argues that effective systems require an integrated approach spanning engineering, technology, and management, creating safer and more sustainable urban environments. The book highlights that these systems are not just about timing, but are complex adaptive systems.

Understanding traffic flow theory, intersection design, and signal timing principles forms the foundation, progressing to modern technologies like vehicle detection and adaptive signal control.

The book emphasizes a systems-level perspective, advocating for data-driven decision-making to optimize signal timing and improve overall performance. It presents real-world case studies and the latest research, drawing upon statistical analysis and simulation modeling. For example, the book discusses how adaptive signal control algorithms can dynamically adjust signal timings based on real-time traffic conditions, reducing congestion.

It culminates in management strategies, covering performance measurement and integration with broader transportation networks.

Written for transportation engineers, urban planners, and students, Traffic Signal Systems bridges theoretical concepts and practical applications. The book progresses from fundamental concepts to modern technologies and management strategies, offering a comprehensive understanding of how traffic signals work and improve urban mobility. It also addresses ongoing debates, such as the role of AI in traffic signal control.

The Book of the Moon - A Guide...

Maggie Aderin-Pocock

Have you ever wondered if there are seasons on the moon or if space tourism will ever become commonplace? So has Dr. Maggie Aderin-Pocock. In fact, she earned her nickname “Lunatic” because of her deep fascination for all things lunar. In her lucidly written, comprehensive guide to the moon, Aderin-Pocock takes listeners on a journey to our closest celestial neighbor, exploring folklore, facts, and future plans. 
  
She begins with the basics, unpacking everything from the moon’s topography and composition to its formation and orbit around the Earth. She travels back in time to track humanity’s relationship with the moon—beliefs held by ancient civilizations, the technology that allowed for the first moon landing, a brief history of moongazing, and how the moon has influenced culture throughout the years—and then to the future, analyzing the pros and cons of continued space travel and exploration. The Book of the Moon will be published for the 50th anniversary of the moon landing.

DAY TRADING FOREX - The...

Cecil Malone

Your buddy is planning a trip to England; his salary is likewise in rubles, and the national currency in England is the pound sterling.
What will your pal do?
Of course, he'll go to a currency exchange to convert his hard-earned rubles into British pounds.
Your mum planned to go to Norway to see a friend. What is the current Norwegian currency? The Norwegian Krone Mom's pension is in Russian rubles...
Mom's behavior is predictable: she will travel to an exchange office to exchange her hard-earned rubles for Norwegian krone.
However, there was no crown at this exchange office since they did not deliver for some reason.
Then your mother was offered to purchase American cash - dollars rather than Norwegian kroner. Mom is perplexed: "I have bucks, but I don't want to travel to America for the promenade, but to my buddy in Norway!" And they explain to her: It's nothing - you'll exchange your dollars for Norwegian krone at the exchange office in Norway and enjoy life much more...
And, although your uncle did not travel anywhere he did not plan to, he has additional money.
So, my uncle predicted that the Swiss franc would rise against the ruble, so he went to the exchange office and simply exchanged Swiss francs for rubles, hoping that the rate would rise and his ruble savings would rise as well. Uncle, in other words, opted to speculate on the currency differential.
This is Forex - a foreign exchange office.
Day Trading Forex will teach you all you need to know about Forex trading and how to profit from it.
