QUEUEING IN RURAL TRAFFIC. IN VEHICULAR TRAFFIC SCIENCE

This paper begins by providing some applications of a model for queuing in rural traffic when limited overtaking is possible. The applications make use of an empirical relationship between the overtaking rate and the opposing traffic flow, and use a relationship between means and standard deviations of speed distributions. Queuing when overtaking is impossible is next discussed. Vehicles are assumed to enter a length of road at random. Mean queue lengths and speeds at different distances along the road are calculated for different flows and speed distributions.
