Abstract:

A new relation describing the fundamental formula of road traffic is presented, where the approach is guided by an emphasis on the parameter determination aspects of the problem. The proposed relation includes the degrees of freedom sufficient to allow independent satisfaction of the inherent highway constraints. It is shown how the relation can be fitted to an empirically determined curve through appropriate choice of the parameters.
