The empirical basis of the three-phase traffic theory is discussed and some new spatial-temporal features of the traffic phase "synchronized flow" are considered. A probabilistic theory of highway capacity is presented which is based on the three-phase traffic theory. The core methodology of the Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) 2010 for CiteSeerX - Document Details (Isaac Councill, Lee Giles, Pradeep Teregowda): here is considerable misapplication of the concept of forced flow and the associated relationships between speed and volume as generally applied to traffic analysis. This problem was partly addressed through the use of a broader definition of level-of-service (LOS) in the 1985 Highway Capacity Marwa / (HCM). A probabilistic theory of highway capacity is presented which is based on the three-phase traffic theory and some new spatial-temporal features of the traffic phase "synchronized flow" are considered. Hypotheses and some results of the three-phase traffic theory by the author are compared with results of the fundamental diagram approach to traffic flow theory.

The 1985 Highway capacity manual: An executive overview A probabilistic theory of highway capacity is presented which is based on the three-phase traffic theory. In the frame of this theory, the probabilistic nature of highway capacity in free flow is linked to an occurrence of the first order local phase transition from the traffic phase "free flow" to the traffic phase "synchronized flow".

The 3rd edition of this manual was updated in 2000 as Highway Capacity Manual 2000. The first Highway Capacity Manual was published in 1950 and provided definitions of key terms, a compilation of maximum observed flows, and the initial fundamentals of capacity. Analytical procedures were included for uninterrupted-flow facilities, signalized Three-Phase Traffic Theory and Highway Capacity. Kerner, Boris S. Abstract. Hypotheses and some results of the three-phase traffic theory by the author are compared with results of the fundamental diagram approach to traffic flow theory. A critical discussion of model results about congested pattern features which have been derived within the The 1985 Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) contains a procedure for estimating stopped delays at signalized intersections. These estimates are to be used to assess the levels of service at an intersection. The assessed levels of service, in turn, provide a basis for making decisions concerning geometric designs and signal operations.
