Estimation of Road Service Quality Using the Two‐Fluid Model Considering the Resilience of Traffic Flow
Bibliographic record
Abstract
In an urban road network, the ability of the traffic flow itself to alleviate congestion caused by external disruptions is overlooked. This study applied the two‐fluid model to simulate mesoscopic traffic flow, focusing on the resilience of urban road networks under normal disturbances. Three resilience indices—plasticity, transition of elasticity, and elasticity—were introduced based on the failure deformation process of rigid materials. These indices were used to modify the two‐fluid model’s parameters, considering the effects of bus operations and temporary roadblocks on traffic flow and service quality. A hidden Markov model (HMM) was employed to predict service quality transitions (distinction, merit, and pass), with validation using dynamic bayonet traffic data from Xuancheng and video recordings from Xi’an, China. The results confirmed that resilience varies significantly across different times and locations, with peak hours and dense urban areas exhibiting lower resilience and higher susceptibility to disruptions. Bus queuing was found to degrade service quality, and rainstorms had a more severe impact than construction zones. The study can aid in the development of management efficiency of urban road networks.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
