Abstract

Observations of traffic travelling between signal controlled intersections on a 3-lane dual carriageway showed that the dispersion of platoons of private cars was less than that recorded previously in urban situations. An adequate model of the observed dispersion was obtained by making a simple modification of the traffic model used by TRANSYT to estimate dispersion in urban linked traffic-signal networks.
