"Robot cars" are cars that allow for automated driving. They can drive closer together than human driven "normal cars" and thereby raise road capacity. Obtaining a robot car instead of a normal car can also be expected to lower the userś value of time losses (VOT), because travel time can be...

This paper presents a dynamic model of road traffic congestion based on simple carfollowing theory, allowing for finite group velocity and discrete vehicles. The model offers a full-fledged dynamic version of the standard static model of road traffic congestion based on the so-called...
