Freeway capacity - a stochastic concept

Hi all,

That's the paper on stochastic capacity that Pravin mentioned last Friday:

"Reliability of freeway traffic flow: a stochastic concept of capacity" -

by Werner Brilon, justin Geisterfeldt and Matthias Regler in the proceedings of the 16th International symposium on Transportation and Traffic Theory (ISTTT), pp. 125 -144.

The paper stated that the freeway capacities are different under flowing and congested traffic conditions. To address this, the authors considered the freeway capacity to be a random variable instead of a constant...

I can let you have a copy of the paper if you are interested.

In fact Xiao-yun and I have been studying this area (freeway capacity variations), I may give a brief presentation on some findings/literature review in the future if you wish...
