Traffic may sometimes appear to be chaotic and unpredictable, yet mathematics can help us to gain a better understanding of its complexities and its regularity. This is because for some years now mathematics has been successfully describing and predicting the movement of groups of individuals, cars, people, animals, bacteria and so forth. This lecture will be illustrating some of the models that that have recently spawned a number of interesting applications ranging from traffic news in real time to crowd control in public places.
