Abstract

A study of a traffic jam on a single-lane highway is generalized. By allowing a vehicle to leave the queue at a speed slower than its arrival speed, the original queue may produce a family of queues. The distances from the original incident to the last car in each sub-queue are random variables which characterize the traffic jam. A numerical example demonstrates the results.
