Abstract

The model of traffic flow on highways introduced in part I is analyzed in the form of an expansion in density for steady-state flow on uniform highways. Corrections are developed to account for 3-car interactions, which involve 2-car queues. Interesting probabilities are derived to this order and samples are worked out showing the initiation of decreased average speed due to queueing.
