Abstract

Flow, speed, and density are the three primary characteristics of traffic and are used to describe various aspects of operations of a highway facility. When describing and assessing traffic operations, we are often concerned with the movement of a group of vehicles, or the traffic stream, rather than the movement of each vehicle. In those cases, it is more convenient to describe traffic operations in terms of macroscopic measures of traffic.
