Abstract

The standard economic model for analyzing tarffic congestion, due to A.A. Walters, incorporates a relationship between speed and traffic flow. Empirical measurements indicate a region, known as hypercongestion, in which speed increase with flow. We argue that this relationship is unsuitable as a supply curve for equilibrium analysis because hyperongestion occurs as a response to transient demand fluctuations.
