TL;DR
Smeed's postulate under which it is possible for a driver to depart later and arrive earlier has been modified to show that under realistic traffic behavior assumptions this phenomenon cannot occur.

The calculations suggest that the “optimum” duration of entry times is associated with a particular average speed of travel, which is itself dependent on the value of fA / n, where f is the fraction of the surface area A of the city center used for roads.

13 Citations1970Martin Wohl
A model structure is formed so that the total amount of travel during peak and off-PEAK periods can be counted, and the total cost of trip making can be compared with the transport system and its performance standards.
