traffic flow analysis

Traffic flow analysis studies how vehicles move along roads to understand patterns, congestion points, and overall efficiency. It involves collecting data on vehicle speeds, densities, and travel times, then using this information to identify causes of delays and optimize traffic management. The goal is to improve safety, reduce travel time, and prevent bottlenecks by making informed decisions about traffic control measures—such as signal timings, road design, and closures—based on real-world behavior and patterns observed through various data collection methods.
