About: Truck lane restriction

Truck lane restriction within transportation traffic engineering, is a factor impacting freeway truck lanes and traffic congestion. In traffic flow theory, intuitively, slow vehicles (e.g. trucks) will cause queues behind them, but how it relates to the kinematic wave theory was not revealed until Newell. Leclercq et al did a complete review of Newell's theory. In addition to the simulation models developed by Laval and Daganzo on the basis of numerical solution methods for Newell's theory to capture the impacts of slow vehicle, Laval also mathematically derived the analytical capacity formulas for bottlenecks caused by single-type of trucks for multi-lane freeway segments.
