Open publisher page 29 citations

Abstract

A commuter living outside a circular city arrives at a point on the circumference and is equally likely to wish to travel to every point of the interior. In the present paper we give the probability distribution for trip length, and the probability distribution for traffic weight at each point, under the assumption of six different routing systems.
