Mathematical model for moving bottlenecks in road traffic

Wednesday, January 19, 2011 - 14:30 in Mathematics & Economics

Vehicular traffic flow has been tackled by mathematicians, engineers and physicists alike. Mathematical approaches to study traffic are usually based on the speed, density and flow of vehicles on roadways. Mathematicians now propose a mathematical model of vehicular traffic based on a moving bottleneck caused by a slow-moving vehicle within the flow of cars.
