Abstract
This paper tries to investigate the relationships between traffic flow, travel speed and density in the scenario of Automated Highway System. The mathematical models proposed demonstrate that traffic flow will increase monotonically as travel speed increases. In this sense, we do not necessarily trade off between capacity and level of service during the operation of freeway. Therefore the investment efficiency of freeway would be significant.
