Study area
Selected links from the Glen Osmond
Road (GOR link 1 and 6) and South
Road (SR link 18, 20 and 22) were
selected as study area.
Longitudinal journey to work travel
time using GPS-equipped probe
vehicles were analysed.

link lengths vary from 152m to
1146m
posted speed limits of either 50km/h
or 60km/h
consist of 180 runs
South Road corridor
comprising 22 links
Link lengths vary from 135m to
4007m
posted speed limits between
60km/h and 80km/h
consist of 100 runs
.

Conclusion
The value of c, k and scale parameters are close to the value of the
empirical c, k and scale parameter and the pdf functions for empirical
and estimated data have similar shape
The estimated percentiles are similar to the empirical data percentiles.
The 10th, 50th and 90th percentiles resulting from 0.6 degree of
saturation are lower than 0.9 degree of saturation.
The 10th and 50th percentiles increase as the degree of saturation
increases while the 90
th
percentile decreases .
Higher degree of saturation is likely to have less variability since the 10th
percentile is close
Conclusion
Burr regression technique allowing us to explore the role of SCATS
degree of saturation in determining the value of the Burr parameter c,
and leading to different shapes of the distribution and different values of
the travel time variability metrics. Thus it is possible to estimate the travel
time variability at varying levels of the SCATS degree of saturation
