I. INTRODUCTION

The purpose of this thesis was to study the

longitudinal distribution of vehicles in the traffic stream.

In respect of roads with small volumes of traffic, we knew

that a good approach to the problem may be dotained by

assuming that the traffic is fortuitously distributed and

follows closely enough a quite- simple probability function

named Poisson distribution (3).

However, because of the nature of the Poisson

formula ald the way it has been derived, we had serious

doubts that it would not work as well for average or

relatively high traffic volumes. Since ail the traffic

theory regarding the longitudinal pattern of the traffic

flow is based on this function, we thought that it was very

worthwhile to check its accuracy at different volumes and

possibly determine the conditions for which it applies.

At high volumes, the traffic is not as fortuitously

dis tributed as in the case of low volumes sLnce there are

so many factors influencing the driver operation that we no

longer have this complete randomness upon which the Poisson

function is based. In these conditions, it was felt that

another mathematical tool was needed which was not based on

this "complete randomness". This tool should possibly work

-1-

Page 11: A STUDY OF THE PATTERN OF HEADWAYS ON AN URBAN FREEWAY

2

for either the opposite extreme from randomness which is

reguIarity and can be nearly approached during congestion,

or for the whole range of possibilities between randomness

and regularity.

A. K. Erlang (5) has developed such a distribution

and used it to describe telephone traffic. The Erlang

distribution is "less random" than the Poisson distribution

in the sense that it predicts a more regular and determined

flow than the latter. Since -We expected. to observe a

relative regularity of the traffic flow at high volumes,

the Erlang function might possibly work. Furthermore,

there might be such an analogy between road traffic and:

telephone.. traffic that we could possibly apply to road

traffic the theory as developed in telephone by A. K.

Erlang.

II. EXPERIEENTAL PROCEDURE

THE FIELD EQUIPMENT

The data upon which we based our calculations

have been extracted from some films tàken by the Dept. of

Highways of Ontario in previous studies.

The camera used to tale the films was an rArriflex"

16. m.m. professional cine camera, see Fig. No. 1. Although

it was equipped with wide-angle, telescopic and normal lenses,

-0/ily the normal ions was used.. It was also powered by a

storage battery and the frame speed could be set at any

given speed by a quick adjustment. A small amount of

experimenting showed that a speed of eight frames per

second would give the best results as far as the number of

vehicles observed per'length of film and the movement of a

particular vehicle in any one frme are.concerned.

The film spools contained approximately 400 feet

of film which produced approximetely thirty minutes of film

without changing spools. Although it would have been

desirable to have no interruptions in filming during this

period, it was occasionally necessery to stop the camera

to meke speed adjustments. Filking was aLso stopped if

traffio came to a stop either on the through lanes or on

the deceleration lame. This stop condition contributed

nothing to the study and in ail cases the Cause was beyond

the camera range and therefore of no interest in this

study.

To obtain the required field of view, the camera

was located on a touer constructed of portable tubular steel

scaffolding (Fig. No. 2). The touer was approximately fifty

feet high and guys were used to minimize swaying. The

distance between the touer and the nearest lane of the

highway was in the vicinity of 100 feet. The touer was

plainly visible to the motorists, particularly when it was

manned. In order to minimize any effect on the habits of

the drivers, it was in place approximately one week before

any camera work was carried out. Personnel also moved

around at the top of the tower during this familiarization

period. As far as could be determined, the touer had no

effect on the operating characteristics of the vehicles

on the through lanes or on the ramp.

THE PROJECTION EQUIPMENT

The projector used for this phase of the study

was a Bell end Howell 16 m.m. suent time and motion study

type (àee Fig. No. 3). The film could be run forward,

reversed or stopped at any time. The projector was

specially fitted for manual frame advancement for detailed

examination of each individual frame of the film. A counter

was attached to the projector for recording the number of

frames which had been viewed between the passage of successive

vehicles. The projector was equipped with a normal

projection lens with a focal length of 2 inches and required

a projector distance of about 20 feet to obtain a picture

size of 4 X 3 ft.

THE STUDY LOCATIONS

Although the Dept. of Highways of Ontario had a

great number of films available which had been taken in

previous studies, maay of them could not be used for the

purAse of this work for some reason or another. One of

the major reasons preventing their use was in most cases

due to the fact that it was often extremely difficult to

determine with a reasonable accuracy the precise instant

when the oncoming vehicles reached a reference une drawn

on the screen for the purpose of calculating the headways.

Most of the films having indeed been taken at intersections

for specific ramp studies, our reference une was often

located so far in the field of vision as to make accurate

determinat ion of the instant that a given part of any

particular vehicle crossed the une practically impossible.

Another reason which prevented their use was that on many

films the field of vision was so small that it did not

Page 18: A STUDY OF THE PATTERN OF HEADWAYS ON AN URBAN FREEWAY

show a point approximately halfway between the beginning of

the full width of the deceleration lane and the island nose,

which was the location where we referenced the vehicles.

Fig. No. 4 is a sketch showing the general location of the

reference limé. Ideally, we would have liked to reference

the vehicles before they reach the taper section of the

deceleration lane, but no film provided us with this

opportunity. In order that ours data reflect the existing

conditbns of the traffic flow, we had to locate our

reference line before the nose of each intersection so

that we take an account of the vehicles using the

deceleration lane; we had to reference them also at a point

far aaough from the beginning of the deceleration lane so

that the through traffic previously influenced by the

vehicles using the deceleration lane would be given enough

time to readjust their operation as if they had not been

influenced by the former.

After examination of ail the films that were

available, four films were finally selected for longitudinal

movement analysis. Ah l films show major intersections with

the Highway #401, an urban freeway in the northern part of

Metropolitan Toronto. Figure No. 5 is a sketch showing

the study locations. To simplify the naming of the sites

throughout the rest of the thesis they will be called only

by the nome of the street which intersects Highway en.

While each intersection has a different layout, this was not

taken into consideration in oui' study since the longitudinal

movement of vehicles which we study is not influenced by

the intersection layout. Each intersection is in flat

terrain and the geometric features of both the inter-

changes and the highway at each location have the same

standard level of design so that neither the geometric

design of the highway nor the physical nature of the

highway have any effect on the spacing of vehicles at any

particular location.

_The Annual Average Daily Traffic volume at these

locations as determined by the Ontario Department of

Highways was reported as being between 36,000 and 67,000

vehicles per day for both directions of travel. Some

typical traffic volumes taken at each location with

portable automatic traffic recorders are shown in Fig. No.

6; these volumes have been recorded during one week just

prior to the filming. The highway was originally designed

as a rural freeway, but due to its proximity to Toronto and

the large volumes of traffic, it can be classed more

accurately as an urban freeway.

Ah l the films used in this study were taken

during that period of Ume when there was the greatest

combination of through and diverging traffic. This

happened from 7:30 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. for westbound traffic

on Highway #401 and from 4:30 p.m.to 5:30 p.m. for eastbound

traffic. Although it might have been preferable that the

films be taken at different periods of the day in order to

deal with the greatest range of traffic volumes, we feel

that the volumes obtained for each individual lane at each

intersection provided us with a range of volumes good anough

for the purpose of this thesis. Table No. 1 shows these

hourly volumes projected in each case from our population

samples. In other words we think that the volumes of

traffic which were analysed show anough variations so as

to serve our purpose of studying the longitudinal flow

pattern of traffic at different volumes.

EXTRACTION: OF DATA.

Our work consisted of observing at each location

the headways in individual lanes and in the two combined

through lanes. Although the method used was very tedious

and required a considerable period of time, it was very

simple. It consisted of turning the projectOr manually

until the right front tire of a vehicle waà approximately

even with our screen reference line and then of recarding

the corresponding Crame number. Knowing the camera speed,

which in our case was always 8 Crames per second the

headways cou1d be simply obtained by subtracting the

consecutive dounter readings and then dividing by the.

Camera speed, which was 8 frames per second— We fellowed the

saine method for the four study locations. At each location,

we ran the 'film three times, first recarding simultaneouely

the headways of both the driving and passing , through lm es,

secondly recording the deceleration lane headways and

thirdly recording the headways for the two combined through

lanes.

At first, we recorded the headways for periods

of fifteen minutes, which was approximately half of the film

spools, and when headways for each lane had been recorded,

we automatically reren the film in its entire length, which

corresponded approximately to a period of time of thirty

(30) minutes; this turne counting the vehicles in each lane.

The next step was to project these volumes to hourly volumes

by assuming a linear relation which we felt would be

accurate enough since the filming having been done at peak

hours, the volumes of traffic observed were so heavy and

the traffic flow so regular as to assume the saine regularity

for the second half hour. This has proved to be true at a

later stage of this thesis when we decided to reduce out"

s amples to 200 vehic les to simplify the calculations and we

found negligible differences between the volumes projected

from the time corresponding to the first 200 headways and

those projected from the volumes observed during the entire

length of the spools. The headway sam.-oie means calculated

Page 26: A STUDY OF THE PATTERN OF HEADWAYS ON AN URBAN FREEWAY

17.

from both sets of data also showed negligible differences.

Therefore, we have gocd reasons to affirm that the estimated

hourly volumes projected from our sample means closely

represent the existing hourly volumes at the tue of filming.

In any future similar type of study, we would recommend

that traffic counts be taken at the tue of filming so as

to Sive an opportunity ta check the estimated figures.

Page 27: A STUDY OF THE PATTERN OF HEADWAYS ON AN URBAN FREEWAY

III. EXPERIMNTAL RESULTS

THE CONCEPT OF HEADWAY

The longitudinal pattern of traffic flow can best

be analysed by the measurement and examination of the gaps

between vehicles. But this can be done in several ways

One way is to measure the distance in feet between vehicles.

Another way is to masure the distance from the beginning

of one vehicle to the beginning of the next vehicle. In

either case, individuel or average spacings between

vehicles can be determined. However, from observation, it

has been found that the minimum or ildesirable" spacing

(i.e. the distance to the vehicle ahead that the motorist

accepts as a safe distance so that he will have enough

time to react in case of emergency) varies as some function

of the velocity at which the vehicles are travelling.

Thus while a distance of 50 feet to the preceding vehicle

may be acceptable at a speed of twenty Cive miles per hour,

the motorist would no doubt prefer a greater distance if his

speed is sixty miles per hour. Therefore we can see that

it is not suf fiole nt to compare the spacings of vehicles in

terms of linear distances without cons idering al so the

vehicle speeds.

-18-

Page 28: A STUDY OF THE PATTERN OF HEADWAYS ON AN URBAN FREEWAY

19

A more convenient method to measure these gaps is

in ternis of units of tue rather than distance, the second

being the usuel unit used. The elapsed tue from the passing

> of the front (or any other part) of a vehicle past a fixed

point until the sanie part of the next vehicle passes. the

sanie point is termed a "head.way". The examination of

head.ways in a traffic stream does not have to be correlated

with speed.s since a desirable headway does not vary much

with speed. The variation of- d.esirable head.way as related

to variation of speed is very small end can be neglected.

Another reason why the "headway" concept hes to be preferred

to- a linéar spacing concept in stream analysis is that while

the latter is a direct measure of traffic d.ensity, the

head.way is a direct measure of the rate of traffic flow,

which is .easier to determine and. at a lower cost than the

traffic density. Therefore, this concept has been used

through.out the length of this thesis.

A study conducted by O. K. Norman, of which thé

main results have been summarized in Figure 7-6 of TraffiC

Engineering by Matson, Smith and Hurd (7) s.uggests that a

head.way greater than fine (9) seconds is c.cnsidered to mean

that the following vehicle is operating in a free flow

condition and is not influenced by the vehicle ahead.. For

head.ways stnaller than nine (9) seconds, the a.bsolute speed

of the rear vehicle begins to fall rapidly to approach the

Page 29: A STUDY OF THE PATTERN OF HEADWAYS ON AN URBAN FREEWAY

20

speed of the vehicle ahead, and there a marked drop in the

relative sbeed of the first and trailing vehicles, thus

indicating that the trailing vehicles adjust their speed

to the leading vehicle, and therefore that the former is

operating under restricted flow conditions. The preceding

vehicle is considered to exert some influence over the

behaviour of the following vehicle.

Although we expected to observe in our study a

great number of headways smaIler than nine (9) seconds,

thus losing that "complete randomness" upon which ail the

theory of probability and statis tics is based, we decided

that a statistical approach was justified since we felt

that there still was left in our traffic stream a certain

degree of undetermination and randomness. Furthermore, this

was our main objective to find out where a statistical

approach could be applied or at what point sudà an approach

ceased to be realistic.

THE POISSON FORMULA

Previous observations have shown that the distri-

bution of headways in a traffic stream does not display a

central tendency about the mean, i.e. is net a "normal"

distribution in à statistical sense. The experience bas

shown that most of the drivers tend to travel at headways

less than average while only a féw drivers exceed the

Page 30: A STUDY OF THE PATTERN OF HEADWAYS ON AN URBAN FREEWAY

21

average value, usually by a much larger amount. Fig. No. 7

is a typical headway distribution curve. This suggests that

the headway distribution might follow the function derived

from probability laws known as trie Poisson distribution. If

we examine our own data for one of each type of lanes

studied (see Fig. 8, 9, 10, 11), it becanes readily apparent

that the resulting curves have approximately the same shape

as the previous typical headway distribution. It seemed

therefore reasonable to analyse in more detail our experi-

mental observations, even if it was known that theoretical

and observed results would not coincide exactly.

The Poisson distribution is given by:

-M x M P(x) - xl (1)

where P(X) = thejprobability of x events occurring. x = 1,2,.....n.

m = the expected number of events occurring on any given observation, i.e. the mean of x,

(x) or 7 = m.

e = the base of Naperian logarithms = 2.71828.

Applied to traffic, the definition of terms

becomes:

P(X) = probability of the arrivai of x vehicles at a point during a given length of turne.

m = mean number of vehicles arriving in the given length of turne = tV .

3.65-6

t = given time length of gap (sec.)

P(0) = e-mm° = e-m (2) 01

which may be interpreted as the probability of occurrence

of headways equal to or greater than a selected time t.

Following What was mentioned above, formula (2) can be

written in two different ways, as,follows:

e-vt/3600 (3)

where P(t) = the probability of occurrence of a headway greater than t seconds

and V and t are defined as above;

or P(t) = e-t/7 (4)

where P(t), t,, ead 7 are defined as previously.

Since the hourly volumes were not known at the

Ume of computations, we used formula (4) rather than

formula (3) but we would have obtained the sanie results

in using the latter since the hourly volumes have been

based upon the headway sample means and since (as previously

Page 37: A STUDY OF THE PATTERN OF HEADWAYS ON AN URBAN FREEWAY

stated) the proportion between their Ume of observation

and the hourly volume was a linear one.

SAMPLES

As previously mentioned, when we began extr.acting

the data with the projector pur samples were drawn from a

film running turne of approximately ha1f a film spool or 15

minutes. The result was that our sample varied from lane

to lane and from location to location, since we dealt with

different volumes during the same elapsed period of turne.

At a later stage however we realized that using a constant

sample would greatly simplify the calculations and make them

less tedious. Therefore, instead of drawing our sample

from a constant time of observation, we observed a constant

number of cars, no matter what was the elapsed turne of

observation. We felt thata sample of 200 cars would be

sufficient to obtain a statistically stable sample and

therefore decided to analyse this sample at each location.

This sample stability was well damonstrated since we

obtatned approximately the saine hourly volumes and the saine

sample means when we calculated them using in ell cases.the

two sets of samples.

28

Page 38: A STUDY OF THE PATTERN OF HEADWAYS ON AN URBAN FREEWAY

SAMTLE MEANS AND VARIANCES

There were two ways to calculate the sample mean.

One was to observe ail headways of our saoules, sum them up

and then divide by the total number of observed headways,

which in our case was 200. Since this method required that

we knew the exact value of each headway, it was rejected

since it involved a cons iderable amount of calculations

If we consider that we had to study a total of. sixteen (16)

samples, each one involving two hundred (200) figures.

Another one was to divide the total time of observation by

the number of vehicles observed. This method, much simpler

than the latter, was used. The total time of observation

could be easily calculated by recording the frame nuMber

corresponding to the two hundredth (200TH) vehicle and then

dividing by.the camera speed (8 Crames per second). If we

let Y = the frame number corresponding to the passage of

the 200th car, the sample mean is given by:

TOTAL TIME OF OBSERVATION = y = y

7 - TOTAL NUMBER OF OBSERVED VEHICLES 8 x 200 1600 e

The sample mean 7 being knawn for each set of

data, the sample variance S2 could easily be obtaîned by

using the well known formula:

s2 = r (Xi-)2 fi 1-1 n-1

where S2 = the sample variance

29

Page 39: A STUDY OF THE PATTERN OF HEADWAYS ON AN URBAN FREEWAY

30

= the sample mean

K = the number of cells

xi = the cell midpoints

fi = the cell frequencies

n = the total number of observations = I. fi = 200 1=1

HOURLY VOLUMES

The hourly. Volumes pro jected from our samples

have been obtained as follows:

Hourly vOlume = No.of observed headways x camera speed x 3600 4. Prame number corresponding to the 200thvehicle

= 200 x 8 x 3600 1, Y

As we noted earlier, we have good reasons to belleve

that the'theoretical hourly volumes calculated by the above

formula coincide clos ely with the actual volumes which would

have been recorded, had we counted the traffic volumes during

one hour at the time of the filming. Table No. 2 gives 'a

summary of the calculated sampie meals sample variances

and hourly volumes for each individual lane and through

lanes combined,

and see how close they fit with the theoretical Poisson

distribution. In order to do this, we first calculated the

theoretical Poisson curve for each set of data, using the

formula P(t) = in which X" h.ad already been calculated

(see Table No. 2). This was easily d.one with the help of

Exponentiel Tables (9) . The next step was to classify oui'

observed headways in celle of one (1) second intervals and

to tabulate the observed cumulative cell frequencies. Since

the theoretical distribution-is a 100%-cumulative frequency

distribution (i.e. it gives the % of headways greater than

a given value), we also tabulated. the 100%-cumulative cell

frequencies of the observed headways in order to plot and

compare the theoretical curves with the one obtained from

our data. Tables A-1 to A-16 (in Appendix A) and Fig. B-1

to B-16 .(in Appendix B) show the observed resulte and their

corresponding curves together with the theoretical results

and their corresponding curves; also included are the

theoretical results and curves obtained from the Erlang•

distribution, used at a later stage of this thesis.

When we observe the Tables and Figures mentioned

above, we notice great discrepancies between the experimental

and theoretical results. bre certainly cannot conclude by a

more observation of the curves a very close fit between the

observed headways and the theoretical probability curves.

This wasto be expected because or the nature of the Poisson

Page 42: A STUDY OF THE PATTERN OF HEADWAYS ON AN URBAN FREEWAY

33

distribution (3). Being derived as a limiting fOrm of the

binomial distribution it applies only when the number of

possible events is large (theoretically, infinite) and the

probability of occurrence of any individual event in the

time interval considered is small. An example of the kind

of data which we would expect to find dis tributed in the

Poisson form would be the number of accidents happening at

a very busy intersection; or the frequency of headways of

a given length on a road where the traffic volume is

extremely small. This is obviously not the case at our

study locations. The traffic volumes observed at the time

of filming are so heavy that the probability of occurrence

of a headway of any small time length is very large and the

number of possible large headways is very small. The

reason for studying the headways on the deceleration lanes

was precisely that when we began our study, we thought that

these lanes would carry the small volumes for which a

Poisson distribution might apply. Unfortunately, after

projection of our data to hourly traffic volumes, we

discovered that only one out of the four (4) deceleration

lanes studied had a reletively small volume. This happened

in the deceleration lane at Dufferin St., where the projected

hourly volume was 328 vehicles per hour. Of all the Figures,

Fig. B-9 is probably the one where we can observe the

closest fit between the experimental curve and the theoretical

Page 43: A STUDY OF THE PATTERN OF HEADWAYS ON AN URBAN FREEWAY

34

Poisson curve. Although the two curves do not fit perfectly,

they are very close to each other for headways greater than

four (4) seconds. A statistical test performed at a later

stage of this thesis to check the goodness of fit of the

experimental and theoretical curves will show that even if

the two curves above mentioned donot fit statistically,

they fit much better than any other emilar set of two

curves at each study location. Although the statement of

definite conclusions would have to be supplemented by

other studies, we feel that this is an indication that the

Poisson distribution may be the best model to describe the

headway,distribution at small volume of traffic. This also

might be an indication of the volume which should be

defined as a "small volume" in Œrder tat the Poisson

function gives a fit.

From the observation of the Figures, we notice

that ail curves follow approximately the saee general

pattern. But there are so many variations among them that

we can hardly find a relation between the traffic rate of

flow and the goodness of fit of the observed headway

distributions with the theoretical Poisson distribution,

If any trend is to be observed, it might be that in most

cases (if not in ail) the dis crepancy between the

theoretical and experimental curves tends to decrease as

the headway time length "t" increases. This suggests that

Page 44: A STUDY OF THE PATTERN OF HEADWAYS ON AN URBAN FREEWAY

35

the observed data might be represented better by two

distributions, one for small spacings and one for lerge

spacings. This idea of a "double distribution" was first

suggested by Greenshields (2) who once obtained a good fit

with a distribution for headways less than 4 seconds and o

another for headways of more than 4 secon3s. It would

therefore be interesting to check whether our data follow

this kind of pattern.

As already maltioned, the Poisson function

applied to the distribution of headways is of the general

form y = ex.(see eg. 2) which may be written:

logey = X.

Thus the equation plotted on semilog-paper becomes a straight

lins with a negative slope since x = -m. When me plot our

data on senilog-paper, we get the curves shown on the Figures

C-1 to C-16 in Appendix C. It anpears that the greatest

discrepancies occur for large headways but this is not the

case and simply due to the semi-log scale. In only 3 cases

out of 16 the data were more closely fItted by to straight

unes. And of these three, it will be seen later that one

fits the Poisson distribution at the 2.5% level and therefore

should nOt give a better fit with two straight unes. The

fact that the combined through lanes of Dixon Road (sec

Figure C-13) appear to be best represented by two unes when

Page 45: A STUDY OF THE PATTERN OF HEADWAYS ON AN URBAN FREEWAY

36

in fact it fits the Poisson formula 1s here again due to the

semi-log scale. Indeed, we had, to break the une for only a

few points iihich are found in the larger headway range where

we find the minimum deviations between the experimental and

theoretical results but at the sanie time the maximum

discrepancies due to the semi-log scale. In the Islington

driving lane (Fig. C-4) and deceleration lane (Fig. C-6),

the only cases loft where we have the two straight linos

pattern, the change of direction on the Unes occurs at

approximately 13 and 9 seconda respectively. Althaugh the

intersection of the two straight unes is very sensitive

with respect to position of the two Unes and these unes

are only-band fitted within a specified. range we do not

believe that this is enough to explain the discrepancy in

the "location of the breaks" of the curves which in

Greenshields' study occurred. at 4 seconds. From ail this,

it appears that the theory developed by Greenshields con

hardly be generalized but is rather determined. and influenced

in each case by different location factors. Other studios

previously done on the sanie subject by J. L. Vardon (11)

and J. W. Wise (13) also showed great discrepancles with

Greenshielda' curves and therefare prove that we cannot

generalize this concept of a multiple distribution, each

random in its limited case, as one which would apply in ail

cases.

Page 46: A STUDY OF THE PATTERN OF HEADWAYS ON AN URBAN FREEWAY

37

Greenshields (2) has also shown that for each

plotted point there is a car responding range of expected

error or natural uncertainty caused by the fact that nunless

the sample is very large there is always a difference

between the sample values and those of the universen. This

natural uncertainty, based on the standard deviation of the

sample, is obtained from the formula:

(5)

where n = the total number of happenings recorded

fo = the acCumulated frequency,

Since in our atudy n was always equal to 200, the factor

n is sovery close to unity that it can be negIected and n-1 the equation becomes:

Z =Vfo (1 - fo)

These figures have been calculated for each point and plotted

in Figures C-1 to C-16. With a few exceptions for points in

the (0-2) second interval, the unes drawn through the

experimental points stay within the natural uncertainty

range, from which we can conclude that the data can be

represented by a straight une. Even in the combined

through lanes of Dixon Road and the driving and deceleration

lanes of Islington Avenue where the data were fitted by

two straight lines, a single line would stay very closely

Page 47: A STUDY OF THE PATTERN OF HEADWAYS ON AN URBAN FREEWAY

38

within the expected range of error.

Although the best fitting curve appeared to be in

most cases a single straight linejit is easily observable

from the Figures C-1 to C-16 that (with the exception of

Fig. C-9) the distribution is not a Poisson one. Everywhere,

esnecially in the small headway range, we observe great

variations between the two distributions and the slope of

the experimental and theoretical curves are different. The

fact hawever that the experimental data can be closely

fitted on a semi-log paper by a straight une means that

the model best representing them still has some exponential

form, more elaborate than the Poisson model and with a

different slope.

THE ERLANG DISTRIBUTION

From Tables A-1 to A-16 and Figures B-1 to B-16,

we observe many discrepancies between the experimental

distribution and the Poisson distribution. But a general

pattern common to ail cases is that in the smaller headway

range the experimental curve lies somewhere well above the

Poisson curve. Thus the model that we need to renresent

our data is one which would give greater probability values

in this range of small headways. We felt that the best

distribution serving Ulis nurnose is the A. K. Erlang

distribution. Figure 12 shows the Erlang distribution

Page 48: A STUDY OF THE PATTERN OF HEADWAYS ON AN URBAN FREEWAY

39

ERLANG ARRIVAL or SERVICE-TIME DISTRIBUTION. Probability that the next arrivai will occur

after time interval t.

FIGURE 12

Page 49: A STUDY OF THE PATTERN OF HEADWAYS ON AN URBAN FREEWAY

for several values of the parameter K; where K=1, the

distribution is the simple exponentiel or Poisson case. The

Erleng distribution bas been extensively used in telephone

traffic for different purposes such as to calculate the lino

holding or waiting time and we felt that similarities

between telephone and highway traffic in crowded situntions

are such that it might well be applicable to highway traffic.

NATURE OF TUE ERLANG DISTRIBUTION

The Erlang distribution can be thought upon as if

every oncoming vehicle had to pass throtj a series of

exponential,channels, called phases, be held in the

exponentiel channel for a variable time and thaireleaSed

from the channel before the following vehicle can be

accommodated. Each phase is of the exponentiel or Poisson

type but the resulting distribution is not exponentiel.

There is a possibility of forming any kind of distribution

pattern by simply adding more and more phases. These

distributions, called Erlang distributions, provide a family

of service-time distributions which range from the completely

random exponential type to the completely regular service-

time situation. This kind of service-time distribution can

be easily interpreted as appl:ying to a freeway toll booth

operation. In such a case, it is perfectly imaginable that

a vehicle has to go through any number of phases that we went

Page 50: A STUDY OF THE PATTERN OF HEADWAYS ON AN URBAN FREEWAY

Li

before being accommodated by the toll booth facility and the

following vehicle being allowed in the sanie booth. This is

not so easily interpretable when applied to the headway

distribution. It is indeed hardly imaginable that the

traffic flow actually goes through such phases. Or if it

does so, it is still more difficult to physically separate

its operation into distinct phases. The only physical

interpretation that we cari think of would be to assume a

traffic stream composed of two types of drivers, each type

representing a different phase. One phase would include

ail those drivers who are always in a hurry and therefore

always keep the distance between their vehicle and the

leading vehicle (the headway) to a minimum. As soon as

they can find in the parallel traffic lane a minimum

acceptable gap, they shift lanes and overtake the leading

vehicle. The other phase would be composed of ail the

drivers who, not being in a hurry, don't mind to have any

gap langth between their vehicle and the leading vehicle.

These drivers are assumed to operate their vehicles as if

they were not influenced at ail by the operation of the

other vehic les in the traffic stream. Although this inter-

pretation may not be totally in conformity with the nature

of the Erlang service-timn distribution types, it is the

best that we could think of. On the other hand, it was not

so important to us to visualize a physical interpretation

Page 51: A STUDY OF THE PATTERN OF HEADWAYS ON AN URBAN FREEWAY

42

to a mathematical model as to find a mathematical model which

would best fit our experimental data. The Erlang distribution

being "less random" than the Poisson distribution since it

predicts fewer very short or very long intervals between

arrivais, it appeared to be a mathematical model that might

give a better fit to our observed headway distribution than

Poisson.

The Erlang distribution is given by the formula:

K=1 A0(t) = e

_KAt (KAt)n (6)

n=0

where:

Ad(t) = the'probability that no arrival'occurs4n time t after the previous one.,

À = the mean rate of arrivai.

,K = the number of phases in the system.

n = the number of states in tha system.

e = the base ofNaperian Logarithms = 2.71828.

Applied to traffic, the equation .(6). becomes:

-K)tt K=1 e P(t) = (KAt)n/n1 (7)

n=o

where,

P(t) = the probability of occurrence of a headway greater than t seconds.

A = 15, 7 being the average of observed headways.

Page 52: A STUDY OF THE PATTERN OF HEADWAYS ON AN URBAN FREEWAY

L13

Substituting K=1 in (7) gives:

P(t) = which is the familiar exponential or

Poisson distribution (see eq. 4).

After a careful examination of the family of

Erlang curves as shown in Figure 12, we felt that the

Erlang distribution with two phases (or K=2) had the best

chances to fit our experimental data. In order to check

this, we tried to fit the experimental data of the Avenue

Road driving lane with a three phase Erlang distribution

(K=3); a test of goodness of fit proved that an Erlang

curve with K=2 gives a botter or closer fit. Then we

decided to analyse the fit obtained from the latter at ail

study locations. Substituting K=2 in eq.(7) gives:

P(t) = (1 2 At) e-2At (8)

As we had previously done for the Poisson distribution,

by substituting different values to "t" in .eq. (8), we

obtained for ail sets of data the theoretical Erlang

distribution with K=2. These results and curves have been

summarized in Tables A-1 to A-16 and Figures B-1 to B-16.

In ail cases, as we expected, this distribution

gives a much closer fit than the Poisson distribution in

the smaller headway range. Then follows a transition

range of headways in which we observe great discrepancies

between the experimental distribution and either one of

Page 53: A STUDY OF THE PATTERN OF HEADWAYS ON AN URBAN FREEWAY

Poisson or Erlang. In this range, we don't observe either

any regularity: in some cases, Poisson gives a better fit,

in other cases it is Erlang. In the larger headway range,

the discrepancies between the experimental data and the

theoretical Poisson or Erlang curves decrease appreciably

but here again we donet observe any regularity. As for the

intermediate range, the experimental distribution sometimes

lies between the Poisson and Erlang distributions, sometîmes

getting closer to either one-of them but remaining inside;

sometimes it goes outside either one of them. In general

however, the observed distribution tends to be closer to

the Erlang distribution.

From observation of the results and curves, it

does mot appear that our observed data can be represented

by either one of the theoretical distributions. Further-

more, if one of them is to give a fit, we can hardly

determine which one it would be since, although the Erlang

distribution generally lies closer to the observed data,

the determination of a goodness of fit based on a simple

examination of curves is usually very misleading.

TEST OF GOODNESS OF FIT

Several statistical tests of significance exist

which allow us to determine with more certainty if the

experimental and theoretical data coincide. The chi-square

Page 54: A STUDY OF THE PATTERN OF HEADWAYS ON AN URBAN FREEWAY

(X2) test is the most appropriate.to the present application.

By definition Y X2 = 2: ( f'-f .:02. (9).

i=1 ft

where,

fo = the observed frequency for any class interval.

ft = the computed or theoretical frequency for the same class interval.

K = the number of .class intervals.

If n = the total number of observations, then ft = n pi,

pi being the probabilities associated with the class

intervals. When we compare the statistics obtained from

eq. (9) with the X2 distribution with degrees of freedom

V=K-Y, •whère Vis the number of linear restrictions imposed

on the difference (fo-ft), we can test if the experimental

data can be represented by any given theoretical distribution.

The X2 tabulated values are the maximum values which the

sample statistic can assume and yet stiil be considered as

representing that the experimental curve does flot differ

significantly from the theoretical curve. In other words,

if the semple statistic obtained from eq. (9) is smaller

than the tabulated value at a given significance level are

there is no evidence to indicate that the experimental

distribution differs from the theoretical distribution,

the other hand, if the semple statistic exceeds the

tabulated value at the sanie significance level q,, we have

(1-cteo of chances of being right when we affirm that the

Page 55: A STUDY OF THE PATTERN OF HEADWAYS ON AN URBAN FREEWAY

experimental distribution differs from the theoretical data.

We could also say that the probability is less than ar % that '

the experimental and theoretical curves are the sanie.

Common significance levels are 0.01, 0.025 and 0.05.

We can now use this test to check which one of

either Poisson or Erlang distribution represents more closely

our experimental data. For this purpose, we compared the

experimental observed frequencies (f o ) with the theoretical

expected class frequencies (ft) derived from both distributions.

As previously stated, the expected class frequencies are

obtained by multiplying the number of observed frequencies

(n) by the probability (pi) associated with each class

interval. Although these probabilities could have be.en

obtained in tables in the case of the Poisson distribution,

the fact that there were not such tables for the Erlang

distribution lead us to decide not to use the Poisson tables

but rather to use the saine procedure for both distributions

and calculate them directly from our results summarized in

Tables A-1 to A-16. These tables give the probability of

occurrence of a headway greater than a given time t, both

for Poisson and Erlang distributions. The class interval

probabilities (pi) which were needed for the chi-square

tests could simply be obtained by subtracting successively

these tabulated values. Chi-square tests of significance

have been performed for ah l study locations, each turne

Page 56: A STUDY OF THE PATTERN OF HEADWAYS ON AN URBAN FREEWAY

47

comparing the observed data with both Poisson and Erlang

distributions. These are shown in Tables D-1 to D-32 of

Appendix D. The fact that the class interval probabilities

(pi) indicated in the above Tables have four (4) figures

while the probability values of Tables A-1 to A-16 from

which they have been derived have only three (3) figures

is simply due to rounding of the latter figures. The chi-

square test results have been summarized in Table 3, from

which we can make a few observations. Firstly, only three

(3) out of sixteen (16) sets of experimental data gave a

statistical fit. At Dufferin deceleration lane and Dixon

,driving lane, we get a fit with Erlang distribution at the

1% level and a fit with Poisson at the 2.5% level in the

combined thrbugh lanes of Dixon Road. The t/;affic volumes

at these locations were respectively 328, 460 and 1118 VPH.

This is totally opposite to our expectations, since we

always felt that the Poisson distribution had best chances

to give a fit for small traffic volumes and Erlang for heavy

volumes. Secondly, out of the thirteen (13) study locations

remaining, most of them (11) gave a closer fit with the

Erlang distribution, with only two (2) being fitted more

closely by the Poisson distribution. Thirdly, the combined

through lanes, with the exception of Dixon Road which gave

a fit with Poisson, ail fit very nearly with Erlang.

From ail this we can hardly suspect the existence

of any relationship betWeen the traffic volumes and the

application of either Poisson or Erlang. It appears however

that the Erlang distribution generally represents the headway

distribution better than the Poisson distribution, although

neither one gives an accurate representation of the actwaL

observations.

The next step was.to try another probability

distribution which would fit the experimental data closer

than the previous distributions. The Erlang distribution

was defined for integer values of the parameter K and greater

than unity. Me feltthat it would be interesting to ti'y a

distribution where the value of K is smaller than unity.

Such a value would correspond to a situation "beyond"

Poisson, which might •be called hyper-random. We felt fully

justified in trying this new approach since the authors of

a recently published research project (4) on the saine

subject declared: "there seems to be some evidence that a

multi-lane freeway with very high traffic volumes might

be hyper-random".

A model which gives such hyper-exponential

curves is one, as in the case of the Erlang distribution,

that assumes exponential channels. But unlike Erlang,

where these channels were arranged in series, this one

Page 59: A STUDY OF THE PATTERN OF HEADWAYS ON AN URBAN FREEWAY

would assume 'a parallel arrangement of channels (8). It

is represented by the density function':

.de-2ent (1-01 e -2(1-01nt So(t) (10)

When applied to traffic, eq. (10) becomes:

Since s2 = j 2, 32.18 = (5.48)2 j, from which j = 1.07.

Thus the theoretical distribution.at the passing lane. of

Dixon Road would be an hyper-exponential one but located very

close to the exponential or Poisson curve. This agrees

with the results obtained when performing the chi-square

tests. In this case we had found out a closer relation

with Poisson than with Erlane but not a statistical fit.

The only other case where Poisson gave a closer fit than

Erlang was in the deceleration lane of Avenue Road.

Logically we would have expected here a fit with an hyper-

exponential- curvb, although less than at Dixon Road since

the discrepancies in the small headway range are larger.

The fact that we did not obtain aly real equation for d-

in this case would indicate that the experimental distri-

bution is better represented by a theoretical distribution

located somewhere between Poisson and. Erlang. We feel that

the same conclusion could. be applied to ail cases where

we did not obtain a fit with either Poisson or Erlang but

where Erlang gave a closer fit. Although we did not compare

our data with an Erlang distribution with K=3, we believe

that the best fitting distribution is of the Erlang type

with a K value between 1 and. 2.

Page 62: A STUDY OF THE PATTERN OF HEADWAYS ON AN URBAN FREEWAY

53

RELATION OF PARAMETER K TO VOLUME

Since the Erlang type of distribution appeared to

us as a model susceptible to represent our experimental data,

the next logical step was to find out if there is a linear

correlation between the K values and the traffic volumes.

If we could find such a correlation, we possibly could try

to fit our data with a Gamma function which is an Erlang

type distribution but has the advantage to work for any

value of K. The coefficientS of variation of K was 1/(77

and was equal to the sample standard deviation divided by

the sample mean. Thua

1 = s , from which we get:

(13)

The K values were first calculated for ail individual lanes

and plotted against the traffic volumes. Immediately it

was obvious that the large amount of scatter ruled out a

perfect relationship. The data was then analysed statistically

to see if there was any linear relationship at ail. The

square of the correlation coefficient for pairs of measure-

ments was calculated since this value would be a measure of

the linear dependence of one set of values on •the other.

The traffic volumes were designated as xi while corresponding

values of K were designated as Yi. 12 pairs of measurements

Page 63: A STUDY OF THE PATTERN OF HEADWAYS ON AN URBAN FREEWAY

54

were suitable for malysis.

Then the square of the correlation coefficient

(rx72) is given by:

2 En - I xi yi] 2

rxy = En I (xi2)- (!xi)2][n (yi2) Œ

yi )23

In the present case,

n = 12; Exi = 10,450;Z yi = 20.23; Ixiyi = 19,323.78

i(xi)2 = 11,256,428; 5:(yi)2 = 39.28; Œx)2 = 109,202,500;

CEn)2 = 409.25.

Substituting these values in eq.(14) gave

r2 y = 0.261, therefore the K factor is only 26.1% linearly

dependent upon the volume of traffic.

The above test was then repeated using values for

the combined through lanes. In this case,

n = 4;1Exi = 7980;ZYi = 5.65; 2:xiyi = 11461.90;

E(x1)2 = 17,542,584; 1(Yi)2 = 8.04; (Exi)2 = 63,680,40o;

GEyi)2 = 31.92; r2xy = 0.371.

Then, in the case of the combined through lanes, the K

factor is only 37.1% linearly dependent upon the volume.

The only conclusion to be drawn from these figures would be

that the K factor assumes a slightly more linear dependence

upon the volume when we consider the traffic stream as a

whole rather than when we consider each individual lane.

Although the values of 26.1% and 37.1% are quite

low, it was felt that a "best" straight lime should be

method of least squares and has the form:

=

where 7 and 7 are the means of the x's and the yts,

and,

y.x (rxi)

In the case of individual lanes,

= 10,450 = 870.83; 7 = 20.23-= 1.69 12 • 12

and for the:combined through lanes,

7 = 790 = 1995; 7 = = 1.41 4

Substituting these values of 7 and 7Y- and the above values

for n,rxi,Zyi,IExiyi, Y(xi)2, (x1)2 in eq.(15), we

respectively obtained:

0.00079; and by.x = 0.00012.

Thus, the "best" straight unes for each individual lane

and the combined through lanes are respectiyely:

y - 1.69 = 0.00079 (x - 870.83) (une A)

y - 1.41 = 0.00012 (x - 1995) (une B)

These unes have been plotted in Figures 14 and 15.

It should be emphasized that these two straight

unes are not necessarily the best curves to fit the data

but are merely the best "fitting" straight unes. We

know from the values of the correlation coefficients that

there is a very small linear relationship between the

parameter K and the traffic volume. The true relationship

is certainly a more elaborate one and would be represented

by an equation of a higher degree. It was not felt however

to be worthwhile to find out this true mathematical relation-

ship since this would lead to a theory too elaborate for

practical application. For ail practical purposes, especially

if accuracy is not required, we believe that these unes

are reliable enough to show which value of K corresponding

to a given volume should be used when working with a

Gamma function.

RELATION OF PARAMETER K TO TYPE OF LANE

From what we have seen, we know that the relation-

ship between the K values and the volumes of traffic is

not a simple one. Letts now reclassify these K values, but

this time in relation to the type of lane and the study

location. Table 4 'shows such a classification.

From observation of the above table there appears

to exist a relationship between the parameter K and the type

of lane. We notice thatall values of K are close to unity

for the deceleration lanes, and close to 2 for the driving

lane; we observe no regularity in the case of the passing

lanes. However, it is not certain that the type ar lane

is the only influencing factor. It is also possible that

these values could have been influenced by the study

location itself. The best way to determine the interaction

of these factors was to carry out a well known statistical

procedure, the analysis of variance.

Since the method of performing an analysis of

variance can be found in every textbook of Statistics, it

was not felt necessary to explain it here. A summary of

this table is included, however, as well as the computations

From the F-distribution F(36, 0.05) = 4.76

significant and therefore the stated hypothesis is true.

Thus the study location does not affect the K factor at

the 5% level. This conclusion is very satisfactorily

accepted since if the opposite had been true, it would

have indicated that our results are simply due to chance

and not conclusive in any way.

2. Let's now check the hypothesis that the type of

lane does not affect the factor K at the 5% level.

I . From our table, 1.105 =-3.64

0.303

From the F-distribution, F(2e6,0.05) = 5.14

Since 3.64 45.14, this means that the test is not

significant and therefore the type of lane does not affect

the K factor. In other words, the obtained results give no

evidence of a relationship between the type of lane and the

value of K. It need not be emphasized that this is a very

disappointing conclusion since such a relationship had

appeared strongly possible from observation of the results.

We believe that the fact that the -lest did not turn signi-

ficant can be explained by either one of the following

causes: the number of observations was insufficient, thus

providing no solid ground for a statistical analysis; or,

what is more probable, the discrepancies between the K

values of the passing lanes are so great that they may

cause the test not to be significant. Although the first

cause was quite possible and certainly cannot be eliminated,

1

Page 72: A STUDY OF THE PATTERN OF HEADWAYS ON AN URBAN FREEWAY

63

we felt that it was beyond the scope of this thesis to

investigate it. The second cause could be simply checked

by analysing the variance of the data for te driving and

deceleration lanes, thus excluding the passing lanes where

the greatest variations in the value of K were found. An

analysis of variance was then carried out for the data of

65

From the F-distribution, F(1,3,0.05) = 19.13

Since 106».10.13, the type of lane is revealed as a

highly significant effect. This is a very interesting

conclusion that we had expected when we first observed

Table 4 and suspected a trend. between the type Of lane and

the factor K.

According to this, the headway distribution of an

urban freeway would be theoretically represented by different

distributions when we cons ider each Iane separately. The

deceleration lane headways would. be best represented by an

Erlang distribution with K=1, which is the Exponential or

Poisson distribution; in the driving lane, a good theoretical

model would be an Erlang distribution with K=2; finally, the

passing lane assumes so many Variations that a specific

Erlang curve does not apply in ail cases but any one or

the family couId apply in. individual cases. These

conclusions 'coincide well enough with what had already

been obtained when performing •the chi-square tests to

Compare the goodness of fit of Erlang (K=2) and Poisson

distributions to our experimental data. These tests had

first indicated a better fit with Erlang (K=2) than with

Poisson in ail driving lanes. In one occasion (Dixon Road),

there was a statistical fit and one was very close

(Islingtor). However, there is partial disagreement when

we corne to the deceleration lanes. Indeed, only one out

Page 75: A STUDY OF THE PATTERN OF HEADWAYS ON AN URBAN FREEWAY

66

of four deceleration lanes (it was at Avenue Rd.) had given

a closer fit with Poisson when checking with the chi-square

test. Two had showed a closer fit and one had given a

statistical fit with Erlang (K=2), although in this last

case a fit with Poisson was very close, the difference

between the chi-square statistics and the tabulated value

being as small as 2.90. These discrepancies are not easily

explained but we think that the conclusions drawn from the

analysis of variance table are much more reliable than those

suggested by the chi-square tests. While the analysis of

variance gives a positive evidence when it is significant,

a significant chi-square test only provided us with a

negative and indirect evidence if we consider the criteria

that we used to decide which one of Erlang (K=2) or Poisson

distribution best represented our experimental data. This

criteria was based upon the minimum difference between the

statistic obtained when fitting our data to either one of

Poisson or Erlang and some tabulated values. This will be

best illustrated by the following example: In the Islington

deceleration lane, the inference that Erlang (K=2) gives a

better fit than Poisson was based upon the fact that the

difference between the statistic derived from Erlang (57.41)

and the chi-square tabulated value (2)1.73) is smaller than

the corresponding values (71.61 and 24.73 respectively)

obtained when fitting our data to Poisson. We believe that

Page 76: A STUDY OF THE PATTERN OF HEADWAYS ON AN URBAN FREEWAY

67

such an inference still provides evidence but rather negative

as compared with the evidence provided by an analysis of

variance table. Since the closer fit to Erlang has also

been decided according to the same criteria in the case of

the Dixon Road deceleration lane, there is really only one

case where the condusionsdrawn from the analysis of variance

table and the chi-square method basically disagree. This

happens in the Dufferin deceleration lane for which a chi-

square test provided signific-ant forPoisson and not

significant for Erlang (K=2). Here the previous attemptS

to explain the apparent contradiction between the conclusions

inferred by both statistical methode do not hold since,

being not significant, the chi-square test provides us with

a positive evidence that we cannot attenuate. Although the

difference between the statistic obtained when fitting our

data'to Poisson and the tabulated value is very small (2.90),

the test with Poisson is not significant and therefore, even

if this gives ground to infer that Poisson nearly gives a

fit, the conclusion suggested by the non-significant test

is much more positive and muet be the one accepted.

Thus, with the exception of this last case, the

apparent dis crepancies between the trends suggested by the

analysis of variance and chi-square methods are not serious

and can be partly explained. Therefore, we have good

reasons to affirm that there is a relationship between the

Page 77: A STUDY OF THE PATTERN OF HEADWAYS ON AN URBAN FREEWAY

68

value of the parameter K and the individual lanes of an

urban freeway, as demonstrated by the previous analysis of

variance. It has also been suggested to apply Poisson in

the case of a deceleration lane and Erlang (K=2) in the case

of a driving lane. It should be emphasized however that

they are not necessarily the distributions which will give

the best fit in ail individual cases. The best fitting

distribution would be one with a value of K calculated in

each case from the experimenthl data. For ail practical

purposes however, we believe that the distributions with

K=1 and K=2 should give the best overall fit when applied

to deceleration and driving lanes respectively.

Page 78: A STUDY OF THE PATTERN OF HEADWAYS ON AN URBAN FREEWAY

IV. CONCLUSIONS

This study has attempted to investigate the

distribution of headways on Highway 401, an urban freeway.

The statistical approach was an attempt tomake the analysis

general enough so that the results could have application

to other locations. It is hoped that the observed headway

distributions on Highway 401-and their statistical analysis

can be extended and applied ta the longitudinal flow pattern

of any urban freeway. The inferences drawn from our study

should certainly be supplemented by more data, but never-

theless they do establish a foundation for further

investigation.

The analysis performed in this thesis suggested

the following conclusions:

The photographie method, although it is accurate

and perhaps the most useful tool in a comprehensive study

of 'the traffic flow, is very tedious whenextraeting the data

from the films. Another method might be used more

advantageously when studying only the longitudinal traffic

flow characteristics.

The headway distribution of an urban freeway

shows many discrepancies with the Poisson and Erlang (K=2)

probability distributions. However, the Erlang distribution

-69-

Page 79: A STUDY OF THE PATTERN OF HEADWAYS ON AN URBAN FREEWAY

generally gives a closer statistical fit to,observed data

than Poisson and should therefore be preferred to the latter

to describe the pattern of arrivais on a 4-1ane urban

freeway. For ail practical purposes, calculations based on

an Erlang (K=2) distribution are mostly in the 'safe side

and certainly more accurate than when based on a Poisson

distribution. Our present traffic theory actually based on

Poisson would undoubtedly gain in accuracy if it was modified

and based on Erlang (K=2).

The Erlang distribution fits the observed

distribution of headways most closely when such a distri-

bution is considered for the combined through lanes rather

than for each lane taken individually.

The probability of a linear relationship between

the traffic volume and the parameter K of the Erlang

distribution is very small. This probability appears to

increase when the traffic lanes are considered in combination

instead of individually. The assumption of a linear relation-

ship however is very useful and could be advantageously

used when great accuracy is not required. A Gamma function

should then be used, the value of the parameter K being

taken from either one of the Fig. là_ or 15.

An interesting result is that there appears to

exist a correlation between the type .of lane and the

parameter K. Accordingly, an Erlang distribution with R=2

Page 80: A STUDY OF THE PATTERN OF HEADWAYS ON AN URBAN FREEWAY

727 would generally apply to the headway distribution in the

driving lane and an Erlang distribution with K=1 (or

Poisson) would apply to the deceleration lane. This

was ex'pected in the lattei case since the vehicles diverging

in the deceleration lane are likely drawn at random from

the main through traffic stream, thus suggesting the use of

the Poisson distribution. The fact that Poisson did not

give a fit in this case could be explained by the fact

that we don't have a "complete randomness" since the

diverging vehicles were influenced by the through traffic

stream before performing their diverging manoeuver.

The "two straidat unes theory" as suggested

by Greenshields (2) did not apply to Highway 401. It would

therefore appear that his theory cannot be generalized to

ail conditions, or should certainly be modified.

A model of hyper-exponential distribution has

been tried but proved unsuccessfu1 to fit the observed

data. It is felt however that further investigation with

a different model could turn out more successful and should

therefore be carried out.

A statistical model, by nature, isa mathematical

formula which intends to describe some observed data with

the greatest accuracy possible. It is therefore impossible

that it fit3perfectly the data, otherwise it becomes a

physical law based on certainty and can no longer be called
