On the Intrinsic Concordance between the Wide Scattering Feature of Synchronized Flow and the Empirical Spacing Distributions

  • Received Date: April 13, 2010
  • Published Date: June 30, 2010
  • We discuss the intrinsic concordance between the wide scattering feature of density-flow plot and the empirical spacing distributions for traffic flows. It is shown that by choosing a proper threshold parameter, the boundaries of truncated spacing distributions could well determine the envelope of the 2D region of synchronized flow.
