Abstract: The traffic flow analysis and the relevant vehicle distribution ("free-moving" or "platooned" vehicles) IntroductionThe traffic flow composition and the relevant presence of vehicle platoons is particularly interesting in traffic study, and more generally in Highway Engineering, with reference to a plethora of theoretical and practical applications. For instance, as for "traffic operations" [1][2][3][4], it is well known how the presence of platoons can influence breakdown probability [5,6]. Moreover, plato… Show more

“…Flower roundabout The capacities of through and left-turn lanes (C 1 ) and rightturn bypass lane (C 2 ) can be estimated, under stationaries conditions of vehicle flow [16,17], by means of different models. In the case of the slip lane may be adopted three different traffic regulations: Stop, Yield and Free Flow.…”

“…As q increases for a given vehicle, the probability of encountering slow vehicles increases [19]. In other words, users have high probability to encounter slower vehicles and often are forced to queue up first and then overtake where the available sight distance D is greater than the passing sight distance PSD [19].…”

“…As q increases for a given vehicle, the probability of encountering slow vehicles increases [19]. In other words, users have high probability to encounter slower vehicles and often are forced to queue up first and then overtake where the available sight distance D is greater than the passing sight distance PSD [19]. Consequently, the performance analyses of two-lane highways-whose objective is to determine the level of service (LOS) for an existing or proposed facility-include a specific evaluation of the percent time-spent-following [20].…”

“…Mauro and Branco have presented two dichotomic model (ENTLN and ENTPIII) and they claim that these models can be useful when vehicular flows are a casual succession of freemoving and constrained vehicles [18]. The ENTPIII model is used [19] for determining time headways laws. In [19], an algorithm is developed for simulating a steady state traffic flow.…”
