Emergence of an Urban Traffic Macroscopic Fundamental Diagram

Abhishek Ranjan, Mogens Fosgerau and Erik Jenelius

No 19-04, Discussion Papers from University of Copenhagen. Department of Economics

Abstract: This paper establishes mild probability-theoretical conditions under which observations of space-averaged speed and occupancy in some area concentrate with low scatter around a well-defined curve. These conditions are validated against empirical data from Stockholm and Geneva. No equilibrating process is required to be in operation.
