We restudy the master-equation approach to aggregation in freeway traffic based on the theory of birth-death process,in which the clustering behaviour in one-lane freeway traffic model is investigated.The transition probabilities for the jump processes are reconstructed by using Greenshields’model,and the equation of the mean size of the cluster at any time t is derived from the birth-death equation.Numerical experiments show the clustering behaviours varying with time very well.
