AN ALGORITHM FOR VEHICLE QUEUING LENGTH DURING TRAFFIC JAMS

When accidents happen on express trunk roads, it must be decided which entrance ramps need to be controlled in order to remove traffic jams. To achieve the above goal, the farthest distance of vehicle queues extending to upper reaches of the roads must be correctly estimated. In this paper, according to the extent and lasting time of traffic jams and changing demanded flow volume, the farthest distance of the vehicle queue extending to the upper reaches of roads is calculated using the gather-disperse wave theory. An illustrative example is given finally.
