USE OF COWAN M3 DISTRIBUTION IN MODELLING TRAFFIC FLOW
Abstract
For long years traffic engineers try to find a way to model traffic flow characteristics.
One of the methods used for this purpose is evaluating the obtained data by using statistical
methods. However, the most important problem is to find a distribution that defines the data
properly and also can be applied very easily. Because it meets these properties Cowan M3
distribution is widely used in modeling traffic flows.
In this study, the distribution, which is developed by Cowan (1975) and mostly used to
define the headways between the turning vehicles at roundabouts, is tried to be introduced
and its validity is investigated by using real data.
