Abstract:The objectives of this study were to: 1. Formulate and test a moving-queue model of traffic flow based on the assumption that the lengths of moving queues reflect congestion, just as stationary queues reflect congestion in classical queuing theory; 2. Describe freeway congestion quantitatively; 3. Suggest which of the traffic characteristics and parameters that reflect congestion quantitatively are capable of automatic detection, measurement and control, as a step toward automatic freeway surveillance; and 4. Generalize the results of this study to the design of future freeway facilities.
