Modelling traffic congestion using queuing networks.

Traffic studies have been carried out predominantly using simulation models which are both time and capital intensive. In this paper, an analytical model of uninterrupted single-lane traffic is proposed using queuing analysis. Well-known Traffic Flow-Density diagrams are obtained using simple Jackson queuing network analysis. Such simple analytical models can be used to capture the effect of non-homogenous traffic.
