Samenvatting
Dynamic traffic management refers to the management of traffic demand and supply based on information about current and road- specific traffic conditions. Essential to dynamic traffic management is knowledge about current capacity. For dynamic traffic management it is necessary to have an online procedure for the estimation of the capacity. Three categories of methods exist for the estimation of capacity: (1) methods based on the distribution of vehicular headways; (2) methods based on the fundamental diagram; (3) other methods. All three are discussed.
