The study is concerned with the analysis of only one aspect of the ramp-merging process--namely, the distribution of service times for ramp vehicles attempting to merge with the freeway traffic stream. Service time, or the time that a vehicle spends in the first-in-line position on the ramp, is a direct indication of the rate at which ramp traffic can be accommodated in the merge process.
