'The Roadshepherd' On His Training Vehicle


By combining intuitive physics, commuter experience, bio-modeling and lowered testosterone levels, The Roadshepherd presents a forum where motorists can learn new methods in efficient driving to help everyone 'Get the Flock There!'. Save time, energy, your car and sanity! We need your input including traffic solutions, personal stories of highway hell and other street-sense you have. Thanks

The Fundamental Increases Traffic Frequency

Ask yourself this simple question - Would I like to go seven miles/hour with one-hundred cars in my immediate driving vicinity or seventy miles/hour with ten cars in that same space? Either way, the same number of vehicles would pass a given point over any interval of time. In reports to follow, The Roadshepherd will help pave the way in understanding this physical concept by demonstrating how linear density plays a major role in frequency of traffic (# of cars passing a point), easing of the 'accordion-effect', smooth merging, etc. Plus, understandable charts and graphics will be developed for tutorials. Thanks.
