Traffic flow stochastic model (2*2) with discrete set of states and continuous time

Abstract

The present paper proposes a stochastic model of the traffic flow. This model has a discrete set of states and the continuous time. The model is a generalization of the discrete stochastis model that has been considered in a previous paper of this authors collective, for the case of a mixed traffic flow which consists of "fast" and "slow" vehicles. Moreover the continuous time model allows to developed the manner for estimation of characteristics of the traffic flow.
