Estimating Macroscopic Volume Delay Functions with the Traffic Density Derived from Measured Speeds and Flows

This paper proposes a new method to estimate the macroscopic volume delay function (VDF) from the point speed-flow measures. Contrary to typical VDF estimation methods it allows estimating speeds also for hypercritical traffic conditions, when both speeds and flow drop due to congestion (high densit...
