Flow-density Relationships

Flow-Density Relationships is a fundamental analytical construct in traffic flow theory that characterizes the mathematical and empirical relationship between the rate of vehicle movement (flow) and the concentration of vehicles on a roadway (density), typically represented as a functional curve that delineates traffic states from free flow to congestion.
