The multi-lane traffic flow process : an evaluation of queueing and lane-changing patterns, based on a Markov model. Paper prepared for the 55th Annual Meeting of the Transportation Research Board TRB, Washington, D.C., January 1976.

The paper suggest a queue-theoretical model for describing the traffic flow on a dual two-lane motorway. The model is based on the theory of stationary Markov processes and is closely related to data collection methods made possible by a specially developed set of recording equipment. The reactions of the individual drivers are summed up in a comprehensive description of the ‘’average driver’s behaviour’’, so that the road traffic model here developed is an example of a macro-stochastic model.
