Well, I think that would be a case of sticking a bit too closely to the model. Its likely that, even if the distribution is generally exponential, at very short distances the decision process changes.
In fact, one would probably argue that the distribution would always change based on how dense the traffic is.
- dododo 17y agothe gamma distribution is often used (for example, in neuroscience for spiking rates for the refactory period) to capture the case where you do not wish to give support to zero plus some short period after zero. the exponential distribution is a kind of gamma distribution: Gamma(1,lambda) = Exp(lambda)
