ON THE FUNCTIONAL FORM OF THE SPEED-DENSITY RELATIONSHIP--II: EMPIRICAL INVESTIGATION

In this part the authors applied the theory developed in Part I. Some speed-density curves having the functional form proposed in Part I are fitted to traffic data. The goodness of fit is excellent, except in the case of the left lane detectors. A procedure for isolating stationary traffic periods is also explained. This procedure satisfactorily eliminates the dispersion of the individual measurements.
