An Analysis of Traffic Flow
Operations Research · 1959 · Vol. 7(1) · pp. 79–85
Harold Greenberg✉(Port Authority of New York and New Jersey)
Abstract
A model for traffic flow is developed by treating the traffic stream as a continuous fluid. Fluid dynamic principles are then used to derive relations between speed, density, and flow.
