Vertical queue
The concept of a vertical queue is often used in traffic flow studies as a common assumption to simplify analysis problems. Its use enables many calculations to be simplified, allowing researchers to get to the core of their problem, while ignoring the effects of queue buildup on a roadway. Vertical queues can also be used in traffic signal analysis, with vertical queues occurring at the location of the stop bar.
