Traffic flow theory

a reformulation of kinematic wave traffic theory that tracks cumulative vehicle counts at boundaries, assuming a triangular flow-density relation.

In traffic flow theory, Newell's simplified kinematic wave theory refers to a reformulation of kinematic wave traffic theory that tracks cumulative vehicle counts at boundaries, assuming a triangular flow-density relation. This meaning comes from Newell (1993) in Transportation Research Part B: Methodological.[1]
