Abstract

A probabilistic model for time characteristic of a traffic flow moving on a motorway is proposed and investigated in this paper. The time intervals between consecutive cars are supposed to be dependent and have different distribution. Cars with the slow and fast movement are distinguished in the traffic flow. The mathematical model of such traffic flow is represented as a control cybernetic system of a certain class. The methods to derive estimate for the parameters of the control cybernetic system are proposed in order to select the adequate traffic flow model in the form of batches flow. These methods are approved processing the statistical data of the Bartlett traffic flow. Effectiveness of suggested methods for the parameters estimation and algorithms for splitting a real traffic flow into the batches is demonstrated.
