"The main issue is around the smoothness of traffic flow. According to the model, heavy traffic will not automatically lead to congestion but can be smooth-flowing. This model takes into account the time-delay in drivers’ reactions, which lead to drivers braking more heavily than would have been necessary had they identified and reacted to a problem ahead a second earlier."
"The research team now plans to develop a model for cars equipped with new electronic devices, which could cut down on over-braking as a result of slow reactions."
Heathrow to install a Personal Rapid Transit (PRT) system.
"It appears to solve the often-encountered problems of mass public transit, including fixed timetabling – leading to long waiting times and queues, restricted routes and shared travel space."
