Hal tersebut dapat menyebabkan antrian panjang pada
sebuah ruas.
Sehingga bila dilihat secara gambaran besar, sistem
kontrol traffic light yang ada ternyata belum maksimal.
Belum adanya informasi yang bisa kita andalkan untuk
memberikan prioritas atau mengambil keputusan.

Model Greenshield
Berguna untuk membantu peneliti dibidang
transportasi dalam memahami arus tanpa hambatan.
Model ini memberikan rumusan matematika arus

Interrupted Flow
Arus dikatakan memiliki hambatan, jika arus
lalu-lintas terhenti secara periodik yang disebabkan oleh rambu-rambu lalulintas.
Arus yang berhambatan itu memerlukan
Teori Antrian
Teori antrian dapat digunakan untuk menganalisis arus
lalu-lintas melalui pendekatan sebuah persimpangan jalan yang dikontrol oleh rambu lalu-lintas.
Namun teori ini harus memiliki asumsi bahwa arus
kendaraan harus dalam keadaan rapi dan tidak fleksibel.
Sehingga diperlukan metode yang dapat digunakan untuk
Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD)
Adalah metode yang digunakan untuk menganalisis
aliran fluida atau air, namun seiring perkembangan zaman, metode ini mulai diterapkan di bidang engineering, salah satunya adalah transportasi
CFD juga dapat memainkan peran penting dalam
How CFD Works?
CFD menganalisa aliran fluida dengan cara pemodelan
matematika (persamaan diferensial parsial), metode numerik (diskritisasi dan solusi teknik) dan perangkat lunak (pemecah, pra-dan utilitas postprocessing)
CFD menggunakan sudut pandang Eulerian, yakni bukan
memandang kendaraan secara individual dalam aliran, tetapi memandang arus lalu lintas sebagai aliran sederhana yang didistribusikan secara terus menerus, dengan melihat kesenjangan atau selang yang konsisten antara jumlah mobil dengan panjang jalan yang dikenal sebagai density.
Penekanan metode CFD adalah pada aliran secara
CFD memungkinkan untuk melakukan eksperimen
berupa perhitungan numerik dan simulasi komputer. Sedangkan metode yang digunakan untuk menghitung waktu nyala lampu lalu lintas adalahaturan Manual Kapasitas Jalan Indonesia (MKJI)

Greenshiled’s Linear Model (1935)
Macroscopic stream models represent how the
behaviour of one parameter of traffic flow changes with respect to another.
Most important among them is the relation between
speed and density. The first and most simple relation between them is proposed by Greenshield.
Greenshield assumed a linear speed-density
The equation for this relationship is shown below.
………. (1)
Where v is the mean speed at density , vf is the free speed
and kj is the jam density. T
This equation (1) is often referred to as the Greenshields'
Once the relation between speed and flow is
Now substituting equation 1 in equation 2, we get
……….. (3)
Similarly we can find the relation between speed and
flow. For this, put in equation 1 and solving, we get
This relationship is again parabolic and is shown in
figure 2.
Once the relationship between the fundamental
variables of traffic flow is established, the boundary conditions can be derived.
The boundary conditions that are of interest are jam
density, freeflow speed, and maximum flow.
To find density at maximum flow, differentiate
Denoting the density corresponding to maximum flow as k0,
Therefore, density corresponding to maximum flow is half the
Thus the maximum flow is one fourth the product of
free flow and jam density. Finally to get the speed at
maximum flow, v0, substitute equation 5 in equation 1 and solving we get,
……… (6)
Therefore, speed at maximum flow is half of the free
Calibration of Greenshield's model
Inorder to use this model for any traffic stream, one
Let the linear equation be y = ax = b such that y is
density, k and x denotes the speed v. Using linear regression method, coefficients a and b can be solved as,

Alternate method of solving for b is,

Problem
For the following data on speed and density,
Solution
Denoting y = v and x = k, solve for a and b using
equation 8 and equation 9. The solution is tabulated as shown below.
Step 2: From equation 9, define b = ….. And a =…… Step 3: Define the linear regression from Step 2
above
v =……. (10)
Here vf = …….. and vf/kj= …….. This implies, =
……/…….. = …….. veh/km
The basic parameters of Greenshield's model are free
To find maximum flow, use equation 6
q max = …… veh/hr
Density corresponding to the speed 30 km/hr can be
found out by substituting in equation 10. i.e, 30 = 40.8 - 0.2 k

In Greenshield's model, linear relationship
between speed and density was assumed. But in
field we can hardly find such a relationship
between speed and density.
Therefore, the validity of Greenshields' model was
Greenberg's logarithmic model
(1959)
Greenberg assumed a logarithmic relation between
This model has gained very good popularity because
this model can be derived analytically. (This derivation is beyond the scope of this notes).
However, main drawbacks of this model is that as
Underwood's exponential model
Trying to overcome the limitation of Greenberg's
model, Underwood put forward an exponential model as shown below.
……… (12)
Where vf The model can be graphically expressed as
In this model, speed becomes zero only when density
Pipes' generalized model
Further developments were made with the
introduction of a new parameter (n) to provide for a more generalised modelling approach. Pipes proposed a model shown by the following equation.
………(13)
When is set to one, Pipe's model resembles
Multiregime models
All the above models are based on the assumption that the same
speed-density relation is valid for the entire range of densities seen in traffic streams.
Therefore, these models are called single-regime models.
However, human behaviour will be different at different densities. This is corraborated with field observations which shows different relations at different range of densities.
Therefore, the speed-density relation will also be different in
different zones of densities.
Based on this concept, many models were proposed generally
