Abstract
The design of optimal desired traffic flow patterns for multiple lane automated highway systems (AHSs) is analyzed. A highway network model, which is based on the notion of activity and a principle of vehicles conservation, is proposed. The traffic flow pattern for the network of highways is found in such a way that the total entry flow to the AHS network is maximized and the constraints related to the dynamic highway model and the AHS capacity are simultaneously satisfied
