AN INVESTIGATION OF SOME TRAFFIC FLOW CHARACTERISTICS
SOME FACETS OF THE DISTRIBUTION OF VEHICULAR SPOT SPEEDS AND HEADWAY CHARACTERISTICS OF VEHICLES ON TWO-LANE HIGHWAYS WERE INVESTIGATED WITH THE ULTIMATE GOAL OF DEVELOPING ONE OF THE TWO INTO A SUITABLE CRITERION FOR THE ASSESSMENT OF TRAFFIC CONGESTION. SPOT SPEED AND HEADWAY CHARACTERISTICS ARE DISCUSSED IN THE FIRST TWO SECTIONS WHILE THE THIRD SECTION DEALS WITH THEIR MUTUAL ASSOCIATION. WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THE STUDY, THE STANDARD DIVIATION OF THE SPOT SPEED DISTRIBUTION SEEMS TO BE A SIGNIFICANT TRAFFIC FLOW PARAMETER.
