- In traffic flow theory, the Newell–Daganzo merge model describes a simple procedure on how to determine the flows exiting two branch roadways and merging to flow through a single roadway. The model is simple in that it does not consider the actual merging process between vehicles as the two branch roadways come together. The only information required to calculate the flows leaving the two branch roadways are the capacities of the two branch roadways and the exiting capacity, the demands into the system, and a value describing how the two input flows interact. This latter input term is called the split priority, or merge ratio, and is defined as the proportion of the two input flows when both are operating in congested conditions. The history of the merge model has its origins in Gordon Newell's description of the merging process, but Daganzo's cell transmission model lays out a diagram for a highway merge, and describes the application of the theory. In a simplified model of the merging process, the available capacity exiting the system is defined to be μ, and the capacities of the input branches are μ1 and μ2. The demands entering the system are q1D and q2D, which is defined as the demand for the merge passing through μ1 and μ2, and thus the maximum demand is the capacity of the inlet branches. The output of the model is the resulting flows that pass through the merge, q1 and q2. The assumption is made that the combined capacities of the two inlet branches are less than the capacity of the outlet branch, μ1+ μ2 ≤ μ. (en)
