Abstract Traffic flow will harmonize to forward conditions. The time and distance required for harmonization can have a significant effect on the traffic density behavior. The flow can evolve into clusters of vehicles or become uniform depending on parameters such as safe time headway and safe distance headway. In this paper, a new model is presented to provide a realistic characterization of traffic behavior during the harmonization period. Results are presented for a discontinuous density distribution on a circular road which shows that this model produces more realistic traffic behavior than other models in the literature.
