An approximate model for the study of platoon formation on two-lane highways is discussed in detail. The model assumes that the two-lane highway is divided in each traffic direction into alternating road sections of fixed lengths. The passing in one type of section is unrestricted and the passing in the other one is prohibited. It is assumed that there are slow and fast vehicles on the highway and the inputs follow independent Poisson processes. The results include the distribution of the number of vehicles in a platoon and the average speed of a typical fast vehicle. (Author)
