Extract

In [5] Renyi considers the following traffic model: Vehicles enter a highway at times 〈Ti, i = 1, 2, … 〉, forming a homogeneous Poisson process of intensity λ. The vehicle entering at time Ti will choose a velocity Vi and will travel at that constant velocity. The random variables 〈Vi, i = 1, 2, …〉 are independently and identically distributed (i.i.d.) and independent of 〈Ti〉 with c.d.f. F satisfying All vehicles travel in the same direction.
