Traffic fascinated me - please post a link to that paper
- ChuckMcM 5y agoI will see if I can find it, not all papers published in the 80's are online. (and I just looked the professor is emeritus at USC now but still around so I'll send him the question too)
- ahmadss 5y agoyes please do find that paper (or the name of the professor)!
- ChuckMcM 5y agoI believe the paper's author was Newell, but the USC professor was Dr. Kuehl (Dr. Cool :-). He was teaching Linear Systems when I was there and always had some really great "real world" applications of the stuff we were learning.
- iab 5y agoI would really appreciate it
- vba 5y agoAppreciate the effort
- ChuckMcM 5y agoOkay, so I'm pretty sure it was done by G.F. Newell (UC Berkeley) I haven't found the paper we discussed in '82 but he went on to publish a 3 part description of traffic dynamics called "A simplified theory of kinetic waves in highway traffic" and reading through the abstracts for those it covers the same territory we were discussing in the systems class I was taking at the time.

A simplified theory of kinematic waves in highway traffic, part I: General theory Also: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/019126159390039D# https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/019126...! A simplified theory of kinematic waves in highway traffic, part II: Queueing at freeway bottlenecks
- ChuckMcM 5y agoSo Dr. Kuehl reminded me that he didn't teach me Linear Systems, he was teaching Electromagnetics at the time. (And no I don't know how I could confuse the two)
