      <title>SOME MEASUREMENTS OF ROBERTSON'S PLATOON DISPERSION FACTOR</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/278348</link>
      <description><![CDATA[At the core of TRANSYT, the platoon dispersion model of Robertson is probably the most widely used traffic model in the world.  In spite of its wide use, only a relatively small number of studies have tried to calibrate the model for a range of traffic conditions.  The default values of the TRANSYT handbooks provide the only information on the value of the dispersion factor available to most users.  In the first section of the paper, the sensitivity of the TRANSYT results to the dispersion value is shown.  Next, available information on the model is summarized and the results are classified.  In the last section of the paper, the results of measurements taken in Karlsruhe and in Pforzheim, West Germany, are reported.  The experimental design of the sites was selected to determine the influence of the gradient and the number of lanes on the platoon dispersion.]]></description>
