The purpose of the paper is the investigation of time headways between successive vehicles on a multilane freeway. The vehicle headways were classified into two categories: platoons (those vehicles traveling at headways equal to or less than a value; called the platoon definition), and groups (those vehicles traveling at headways greater than the platoon definition). Several different platoon definitions are used with tests conducted on the distribution of platoon sizes, headways within a platoon, headways between successive platoons, and relative proportion of platoon vehicles with respect to volume. Investigation is also made of the relationship between headways and volumes, and a maximum volume for various platoon definitions is developed.
