FOLLOWING DISTANCE DISTRIBUTION IN TRAFFIC FLOW

RASPODJELE INTERVALA SLIJEDJENJA VOZILA U SAOBRACAJNOM TOKU

Distribution laws applied to the study of traffic flow on a road section and to vehicle following distance are described. Investigation into the characteristics of traffic flow shows that the vehicle spacing distribution, based on the Poisson's law of distribution, can be more accurately described by the normal logarithmic distribution. Due to a more complex approach to the adaptation of the simulation process of normal logarithmic distribution, a less accurate solution to exponential distribution was applied. (TRRL)
