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.

Predictably Irrational - The...

Dr. Dan Ariely

The groundbreaking bestseller from iconic behavioral psychologist Dan Ariely, now the inspiration for the Fall 2023 NBC show The Irrational
“A marvelous book that is both thought provoking and highly entertaining, ranging from the power of placebos to the pleasures of Pepsi. Ariely unmasks the subtle but powerful tricks that our minds play on us, and shows us how we can prevent being fooled.” — Jerome Groopman, New York Times bestselling author of How Doctors Think
“Ariely is a genius at understanding human behavior: no economist does a better job of uncovering and explaining the hidden reasons for the weird ways we act, in the marketplace and out. Predictably Irrational will reshape the way you see the world, and yourself, for good.” — James Surowiecki, author of The Wisdom of Crowds
Why do our headaches persist after we take a one-cent aspirin but disappear when we take a fifty-cent aspirin? Why do we splurge on a lavish meal but cut coupons to save twenty-five cents on a can of soup?
When it comes to making decisions in our lives, we think we're making smart, rational choices. But are we? In this revised and expanded edition of the groundbreaking New York Times bestseller, Dan Ariely refutes the common assumption that we behave in fundamentally rational ways. From drinking coffee to losing weight, from buying a car to choosing a romantic partner, we consistently overpay, underestimate, and procrastinate. Yet these misguided behaviors are neither random nor senseless. They're systematic and predictable—making us predictably irrational.

Gerard Puccio, Chris Grivas

Supposedly, our high level of cognition (and strategically placed thumbs) is what set us apart from much of the natural world. But it turns out that while we all think, we do not all think the same way. We all naturally use the universal creative process, for instance, but our preferences within that process make all the difference in forging a workable solution. These preferences have an enormous impact on the ways we go about solving problems and how we work together. This book introduces a uniquely effective set of tools ? called FourSight, field-tested by top consultants, but never before presented to a mass audience ? that can help anyone from professionals to laymen solve problems and achieve performance breakthroughs. FourSight enables teams to understand their patterns of thinking and to then more deliberately manage themselves toward accomplishing a task. In business-fable style, the book reveals the impact that our underlying work style preferences have on our teams and their results. Part 1 travels along on a team?s journey from dysfunctional to high functioning. Part 2 reveals the theory behind successful breakthrough teams with a clear introduction to the four stages of the breakthrough thinking process. These stages will help both team members and leaders understand the dynamics present within their team and provide the reader with options for how to improve performance. It will also serve as a great resource for management and leadership development professionals, team leaders, and others interested in kick-starting innovation in their workplaces and lives.
