Influence of Darkness Dry and Darkness Rainfall on Malaysian Expressway for Traffic Characteristics using Greenshield’s Model

The study is concerned on evaluating traffic performance during darkness time on expressways. The study aimed at comparing influence of dry and rainfall weather condition. In a threshold impact of darkness, traffic flow characteristics on expressway at two different locations in Malaysia were invest...

In a threshold impact of darkness, traffic flow characteristics on expressway at two different locations in Malaysia were investigated.
