Abstract
This chapter deals with the models for studying queues in road transport systems under a unitary approach. They are the probabilistic models for stationary state, the deterministic solutions in congestion, the heuristic solutions for stationary and non-stationary states. The treatment of these models is unusual but can be directly applied to practical cases.
