Abstract :
A generalized variable time-gap spacing policy for circular highways is developed. The proposed approach is based on the results that uses the density information of the segment on which each vehicle is traveling and more information is taken into account in the new framework. A numerical example is provided to demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed approach.
