A study of davidson's flow travel time relationship

The desire to describe a continuous road as a sequential queueing mechanism is strong. Davidson proposed a simple queueing model to represent this situation. The convenience of this model generated wider applications in interrupted roads, for example, urban roads. Menon and tierney investigated the values of the two essential parameters t(sub)0 and j, for some common environments by performing a large number of runs on two Sydney arterial roads. The effects of environment, width, signals and crossings on the parameters were studied. Some values of the parameters are reported (a).
