Yuan, K. (author), Lavala, Jorge (author), Knoop, V.L. (author), Jiang, Rui (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)Traffic flow downstream of the congestion is generally lower than the pre-queue capacity. This phenomenon is called the capacity drop. Recent empirical observations show a positive relationship between the speed in congestion and the queue discharge rate. Literature indicates that variations in driver behaviors can account for the capacity drop....journal article 2018

Knoop, V.L. (author), Daamen, W. (author)The fundamental diagram of a road, including free-flow capacity and queue discharge rate, is very important for traffic engineering purposes. In the real word, most traffic measurements come from stationary loop detectors. This paper proposes a method to fit Wu's fundamental diagram to loop detector data. Wu's fundamental diagram is...journal article 2016
