On flow within platoons
The headway of a vehicle in a platoon on a single lane roadway can be considered as a random variable whose expected value is a function of velocity. Data from the holland tunnel strongly suggest that the mean headway can be represented as a linear function of velocity, and the distribution about the mean is log normal. In addition to describing platoon headways, the log normal distribution allows a significance level for classifying vehicles as platoon members or non members to be set up (a).
