A statistical model for the flow of traffic on an n lane highway is presented. The model is based on the hypothesis that each driver will maintain a minimum space, between himself and the next car, which is proportional to his speed. Both the first and second order continuum formulations, which are derived from the basic statistical formulations, are also presented.
