However the example have a road that takes 45 minutes regardless of how many drivers go through it, that is not very realistic is it. nowdays we have apps that can tell us in real time how long each path will take according to current traffic, and the time is never constant.
- whack 10y agoIt's actually pretty realistic for very lightly congested roads. At those levels of congestion, the primary bottleneck is the distance and speed-limit. Marginally increased traffic will have minimal impact on travel time. In contrast, for heavily congested roads, the primary bottleneck is the congestion itself. Hence, marginally increased traffic will have a proportional impact on travel time.
