Abstract :
In automated traffic vehicles perform a sequence of activities that are implemented through vehicle control laws. The characteristics of the control law are abstracted in a flow model by the space-time of the activity. The space-time abstraction is used to set an upper limit on the density of traffic flow. If all vehicles perform an activity and the space-time for this activity is s·τ, with s in meters and τ in seconds, then the maximum density is k=1/s. The activity flow model addresses the case when s, τ, and the choice of activity are variable
