Abstract
The most critical phenomenon in the road traffic is the congestion. Although the technical and technological progress realized by the humans in all domains. The road traffic remains a victim of increasing congestion when demand exceeds the capacity of the road infrastructure. In this case, the vehicle will slow down to the entrance of the road infrastructure, thereby forming a bottling in traffic. In the present work, the first step is to considering the different variables that characterize the progressive movement of vehicles on a road. In the aim to give a mathematical formulation which links the number of vehicles present at time “T” over a length “L” of the road. This enabled us to develop a mathematical model to regulate the traffic speed in real time. To validate the model, a real application is presented, who treat the congestion problem in Constantine city.
