Extract

The purpose of this paper is to show some statistical properties of a one-dimensional inhomogeneous flow of particles with their own constant velocities. The most interesting example of such flows is a low-density inhomogeneous road traffic flow; each vehicle drives at his own constant velocity (desired velocity), since passing is freely allowed. Therefore, to give a definite picture to the one-dimensional inhomogeneous flow of particles, the authors deal with a low-density inhomogeneous traffic flow.
