Abstract

A model of disaggregate interactions between individual vehicles was developed that makes explicit the vehicle classes, the class trip rates, and their kinematic parameters (free speed, acceleration rate, length, safety margin). Assuming exponential gaps between vehicles, analytic formulas were derived for the mean value and the variance of the path travel times within each class. The model was successively applied to one-lane roads; two-way, two-lane roads; one-way, two-lane roads; and two-way, three-lane roads.
