Abstract: In this paper, M/G/C/C state dependent queueing models are proposed for modeling and analyzing vehicular traffic flows. Congestion aspects of traffic flow are represented by introducing state dependent service rates as a function of number of vehicles on each road link. Analytical models for unidirectional and multisource flows are presented. Finally, queueing models to analytically determine the optimal capacity and performance measures of the road links are incorporated into a series of software programs available from the authors.
