An overview of the recent progress of research in computational physics and materials science. Particular topics are modelling of traffic flow and complex multi-scale solidification phenomena. The sections introduce novel research results of experts from a considerable diversity of disciplines such as physics, mathematical and computational modelling, nonlinear dynamics, materials sciences, statistical mechanics and foundry technique. The book intends to create a comprehensive and coherent image of the current research status and illustrates new simulation results of transport and interface dynamics by high resolution graphics. Various possible perspectives are formulated for future activities. Special emphasis is laid on exchanging experiences concerning numerical tools and on the bridging of the scales as is necessary in a variety of scientific and engineering applications. An interesting possibility along this line was the coupling of different computational approaches leading to hybrid simulations.

"TRB's Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, No. 2412 consists of 12 papers that explore the effects of fuel price on individual dynamic travel decisions; propensity to use a sustainable transportation mode in the context of a program aimed at voluntary change in travel behavior; route choice behavior of car drivers; context-sensitive, dynamic activity travel behavior; peak travel and the decoupling of vehicle travel from the economy; and sequence alignment analysis of variability in activity travel patterns. This issue also examines temporal effects in commuter response to rewards; a hybrid modeling approach of car uses in Germany; travel mode choice and social and spatial reference groups; modeling riders' behavioral responses to real-time information at light rail transit stations; incremental accessibility benefits and choice of subscriptions for high-occupancy toll lanes; and factors influencing the travel scheduling of habitual car users' driving trips." -- publisher's description
