Design of a Freeway Mathematical Model and its Performance Analysis

Article Preview

Abstract:

Although driving automobiles on the right rule has existed for a long time, few people understand the reason why we set it. For these problems, we develop a model to evaluate this rule’s effect in different traffic conditions and to find the relations between vehicle’s density, traffic flow, safety factor and average velocity. The first model puts forward a mathematic method to establish function relationship between these parameters and try to solve out a quantifiable result. The conclusion will be beneficial for easing the traffic pressure, and figure out whether this rule is scientific or can be replaced by another better role.
