Traffic Patterns



Here's a picture showing some FLYSAFE developments - a European project to pimp out cockpit human-machine interfaces amongst other things seeing as air traffic is expected to triple in 20 years. Not really related to this, but anyway...

Check out William Beaty's page on road traffic patterns with loads of links on traffic patterns and simulation. I've had a suspicion that we'd all be better off if traffic lights were all removed and this is only backed up by reading about the outrage at such a suggestion from town planners. I've had plenty of experience with lights not working on my old drive to work - when the lights are out the traffic moves much better than when the lights are working. Has anyone done any good town traffic simulation with/without traffic lights? I've always wanted to have a go at simulating this. And I've always wanted to work on pimping out cockpit displays. Imagine all the stuff you could do without beer in your life.
