“…The Monte Carlo method encompasses a computational algorithm that relies on generating random objects [36]. The Monte Carlo method is considerably used in literature in the context of the transportation science [37][38][39][40]. Generally, Monte Carlo methods are mainly used in the three main problems of numerical integration, optimization, and generating samples from a probability distribution [36].…”

External costs that are associated with air pollution, climate change linked to greenhouse gas emissions (GHG), and noise are among the most important environmental externalities that are generated by road transport, which have been well monetized. This paper theoretically investigates the effects of different traffic conditions on the environmental external costs of urban roads where traffic flow is more complicated than un-interrupted traffic flows. A Monte Carlo method is used to theoretically simulate traffic speed in different traffic conditions. Subsequently, the emitted carbon dioxide (CO2), nitrogen oxides (NOx), carbon monoxide (CO), particulate matter (PM), sulfur dioxide (SO2), and noise were estimated in each of the theoretically simulated traffic conditions. Finally, the environmental external costs in each traffic condition were calculated taking the EU average costs values into account. The results showed that, when compared to free-flow condition, the total air pollutant and GHG external costs (€2010) have been increased by 6%, 31%, 44%, 50%, and 93% in under-saturated flow, accelerated flow, decelerated flow, congestion, and over-saturated congestion, respectively. Furthermore, the total noise cost (€2010/year/person exposed), as compared to free-flow condition, has been decreased by 2%, 11%, 12%, 36%, and 69% in accelerated flow, under-saturated flow, congestion, over-saturated congestion, and decelerated flow, respectively.

“…Modeling of heterogeneous traffic flows is presented in the works [17,18]. The authors of [17] have developed a new macroscopic model of a heterogeneous transport flow with partial connection to an automated environment based on the theory of a potential security field. In the study [18], the macroscopic model of heterogeneous transport flow considers the velocity gradient and the driver's delay time in making decisions.…”

Assessing the transport flow robustness is a significant aspect of a qualitative solution to traffic management problems. Therefore, management should be based on appropriate criteria, accounting for different factors characterizing traffic flow sustainability. That’s why it is crucial to establish the impact rate for each group of factors on the robustness criterion. Therefore, the current study aims to obtain the dependence of the criterion changes for traffic flow sustainability on the traffic jam occurrence when changing the gradients’ product of traffic flow density and its speed. The value of the robustness criterion allows for performing an impact rating for input factors on traffic flow sustainability. All factors affecting transport flow robustness are divided into three groups. Based on simulation results, factors rating that impact the robustness margin value of the traffic flow is presented. Length and weight of automobiles are at first place according to impact terms on the sustainability loss of the traffic flow. In second place of impact on sustainability loss are the temporary factors group and factors group that considers the roadway environment’s infrastructure. Hence, the results can be used to analyze sustainability traffic flows in controlled highway network stretches and develop measures to increase sustainability reserve.

“…When analysed in this vein, it was observed that some of the studies in the list examined the "cash flow theory" in finance but were included in the review pool as it included the statement of flow theory (e.g. Dunn et al, 2011;Eldomiaty & Ismail, 2009;Smith & Pennathur, 2019); some of them were related to the topics of informatics (Li, Ji, Gan, Qu & Ran, 2021;Wani, Raghavan, Abraham & Kleist, 2017) or mechanics (Ozdemir, Souli, & Fahjan, 2010); and some of them only mentioned flow theory within the text but did not use it as the main or one of the main theories of the study (e.g. Huang et al, 2019;Rodrigues et al, 2016;Tran & Chang, 2022).…”

The aim of this study, which uses a systematic literature review method that provides the opportunity to look into the future by following the traces of past studies, is to determine how Flow Theory, which was developed in the field of psychology but forms the basis for research in different disciplines, is used in the field of marketing and consumer behaviour. The obtained findings will be useful both in terms of showing potential research areas in the literature for academic research and providing insight that can guide practitioners in their managerial decisions. In this direction, the articles derived from the search made in the WOS and Scopus databases using the PRISMA method were examined and evaluated within the scope of three basic research questions and additional descriptive classifications.
