Abstract
- The article discusses theoretical approaches for improving traffic systems in the U.S. Previous attempts to improve the daily flow of vehicles between New Jersey and Manhattan, New York City were limited. Theoreticians then have created two conceptual approaches to traffic flow. The first approach features a macroscopic viewpoint. It views the vehicular stream as a compressible fluid. The second concept is focused on describing traffic flow based on the behavior of the individual driver.
