Abstract

As explained in a TGF’13 talk and Kerner (Physica A 392:5261–5282, 2013), generally accepted fundamentals and methodologies of traffic and transportation theory have failed by their applications for traffic network optimization and control in the real world. In comparison with a full version of the review Kerner (Physica A 392:5261–5282, 2013) with about 540 references, in this short paper we formulate and discuss empirical and theoretical fundamentals, which can be used for the development of reliable control and optimization of vehicular traffic and transportation networks.
