For a freeway having various entrance and exit ramps, the methods described in Part I are used to relate the cumulative flow curve at any junction to the net cumulative entrance flow at this junction, and the cumulative flow curves for the freeway at the next upstream junction and/ or the next...

Approximate analytic methods are used to describe how the equilibrium trip time of an elevator depends upon the physical characteristics of the elevator, the passenger demand, and possible strategies of operation. The analysis is directed particularly toward elevators in buildings of moderate...

Suppose that a vehicle or convoy enters a two-lane unidirectional roadway and travels at a velocity v* less than the prevailing traffic. This moving bottleneck may cause a queue to form as vehicles try to pass the obstruction. It is shown that by going to a moving coordinate system traveling at...

S. L. Albin has described extensive simulations of queue behavior for a system with a single server and an arrival process that is a superposition of n renewal processes. The simulations show, among other things, that as n increases for a fixed traffic intensity \rho, the queue behavior...
