Derivation of a Fundamental Diagram for Urban Traffic Flow
Despite the importance of urban traffic flows, there are only a few theoretical approaches to determine fundamental relationships between macroscopic traffic variables such as the traffic density, the utilization, the average velocity, and the travel time. In the past, empirical measurements have primarily been described by fit functions. Here, we derive expected fundamental relationships from ...
متن کاملAnalysis of Headway of Heterogeneous Traffic on Indian Urban Roads
Headway or inter-arrival time of vehicles is an important parameter in traffic flow, especially in urban roads, since this is one of the main parameters to determine the minimum (safe) gap between vehicles and the capacity. The studies done on headway analysis have mostly concentrated on homogeneous traffic where the flow follows lane discipline. This ideal situation does not exist on Indian ur...
متن کاملAn analytical approximation for the macroscopic fundamental diagram of urban traffic
This paper shows that a macroscopic fundamental diagram (MFD) relating flow and average density must exist on any street with blocks of diverse widths and lengths, but no turns, even if all or some of the intersections are controlled by arbitrarily timed traffic signals. The timing patterns are assumed to be fixed in time. Exact expressions in terms of a shortest path recipe are given, both, fo...
متن کاملThreshold queueing describes the fundamental diagram of uninterrupted traffic
Greenshields [13] captures the empirical relation between speed, flow and density for uninterrupted traffic in the fundamental diagram, see Figure 1. Mathematical models for uninterrupted traffic have been developed and the fundamental diagram in its basic form is now well-understood, see e.g. Newell [29, 30, 31] for a concise exposition. Traffic jams are a major concern for highway operation a...
متن کاملApplicability of models to estimate traffic noise for urban roads
BACKGROUND Traffic noise is a highly relevant environmental impact in cities. Models to estimate traffic noise, in turn, can be useful tools to guide mitigation measures. In this paper, the applicability of models to estimate noise levels produced by a continuous flow of vehicles on urban roads is investigated. The aim is to identify which models are more appropriate to estimate traffic noise i...
