Title: On Dynamic Fundamental Diagrams: Implications for Automated Vehicles
Authors: Jiwan Jiang, Yang Zhou, Xin Wang, Soyoung (Sue) Ahn
Abstract: The traffic fundamental diagram (FD) describes the relationships among fundamental traffic variables of flow, density, and speed. FD represents fundamental properties of traffic streams, giving insights into traffic performance. This paper presents a theoretical investigation of dynamic FD properties, derived directly from vehicle car-following (co...
