Urban land use and transportation policies have dramatic effects on the density and spatial distribution of residences in large cities. Effects of these policies have been analyzed using numerical urban simulation models. At the same time, the US Energy Information Administration’s Residential...

I study delays and congestion patterns in US hub airports during periods of high flight volume. I find that these … delays. These results lend support to recent theoretical work on congestion, implying that hub-airlines take into account the … impact of their scheduling decisions on the congestion that they bear. The results may suggest that congestion management …

Engineering studies demonstrate that traffic in dense downtown areas obeys a stable functional relationship between average speed and density, including a region of ‘hypercongestion’, where flow decreases with density. This situation can be described as queuing behind a bottleneck whose...
