Abstract

The established relationship between the spacing distributions of highway traffic and those of classical gas models is re-examined. Limitations in the statistics of the power law potential are identified, and two modifications are proposed which alter the potential at respectively long and short ranges. An improved fit with empirical data is demonstrated.
