The assessment of uninterrupted traffic flow is traditionally based on empirical methods. We develop some analytic queueing models based on traffic counts and we model the behavior of traffic flows as a function of some of the most relevant determinants. These analytic models allow for...

The main purpose of this paper is twofold. First, the relationship between flow and speed is assessed by means of simulation. Second, the effectiveness of some queueing based traffic models with state dependency is tested by comparing their outcomes to the recorded simulation-based results. It...
