They reserve particular vitriol for local transport engineers. "They do not have competencies in the field of system-related increases in traffic performance," says Alexander Krylatov, a mathematics professor at St. Petersburg University. "If engineers manage to achieve local improvements, after a while the flows rearrange and the same traffic jams appear in other places." Burn!
Krylatov would like to solve urban traffic jams forever, so much so that he has coauthored a book of new math approaches to traffic and ways to implement them. (Translation: Engineers, Let Us Handle This.) Four takeaways:
