TLDR
The paper discusses the major limitations of the existing speed–area occupancy curve for multi-class traffic and proposes a new approach that addresses these limitations by exploiting the driver's perception of the area occupancy.Abstract:
The paper discusses the major limitations of the existing speed–area occupancy curve for multi-class traffic. Any driver will react not to the actual area occupancy, but to a perceived area occupan...read more

Modeling and Analysis of Mixed Flow of Cars and Powered Two Wheelers
TL;DR: An analytical traffic flow model that reflects the mutual impacts of PTWs and Cars and could contribute as an enabler for ‘PTW-aware’ future Cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems technologies and traffic regulations is proposed.

Traffic flow fundamentals
TL;DR: The remaining portion of the book, Chapters 8 through 13, is devoted to analytical techniques involving the total traffic flow situation; chapter subjects are, respectively, demand-supply analysis, capacity analysis, traffic stream models, shock wave analysis, queueing analysis, and computer simulation models.

Nonlinear Effects in the Dynamics of Car Following
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that a small amplitude disturbance propagates through a series of cars in the manner described by linear theories, except that the dependence of the wave velocity on the car velocity causes an accleration wave to spread as it propagates and a deceleration wave forming a stable shock.

An Analysis of Traffic Flow
TL;DR: A model for traffic flow is developed by treating the traffic stream as a continuous fluid and fluid dynamic principles are used to derive relations between speed, density, and flow.

Car-Following and Steady-State Theory for Noncongested Traffic
TL;DR: Car-following and continuum theories have been shown by other investigators to describe a number of aspects of the complex phenomenon of vehicular traffic flow in both quantitative and qualitative terms.

On the functional form of the speed-density relationship—I: General theory
TL;DR: In this paper, a functional form for the speed-density relationship is presented, which is made up of a nondimensional spacing, the equivalent spacing and a function, the generating function, whose argument is the equivalent space.
