Highlights

  • Cross-resolution modelling approach for understanding the dynamic relationship between demand and supply and the resulting congestion.

  • Describe oversaturated system dynamics with parsimonious macroscopic analytical formulations with consistent mesoscopic queue vehicular fluid model.

  • Unified integration of multi-scale models provides city planners with a valid analytical framework to analyze queue saturation evolution process.

  • Estimate key model parameters from real-world data sets on heavily congested corridors.
