Effects of heavy traffic on network congestion
This paper explores the relationship between heavy vehicle traffic and network congestion by explicitly modelling the different behavioral characteristics of light and heavy vehicle flows. Two cases are studied, namely travel times on a road segment and delay at a priority intersection. Approximate analytical results for delays are given which incorporate behavioral characteristics of both vehicle categories. Some shortcomings of the passenger car units (pcu) approximation are highlighted.
