On a Functional Form for Traffic-Flow Relationships. Volume 2: Modelling Transport Systems

A functional form for the speed-density relationship is presented in this paper. The functional form is characterized by a dimensionless function, the generating function, whose argument is a dimensionless headway, the equivalent headway. The functional form is derived by means of two arguments. The first one arises from the set of properties that the speed-density relationship should satisfy and the second from the driver’s behavior.
