Abstract:This study aims to investigate the optimal spacing of the counting stations in order to get more detailed and useful traffic information (e.g. speed, density, occupancy, and flow rates.) on high-volume highways. Assuming the detector as a server in a one-queue system, and the maximum number of vehicles between two consecutive detectors as the buffer, the layout problem then converts to find out the finite buffer capacity of the queue system. Therefore, the M/M/1/K queuing model with Poisson arrival processes a… Show more
