An eight-mile stretch of the US-202 South near Philadelphia, USA, exhibits classic day-dependent traffic congestion problems. During certain parts of the day, traffic flows freely and without delays. During other parts of the day, however, traffic can be highly congested, and significant delays occur. This case and the subsequent (B) case center on trying to determine (1) what data to collect, and (2) what modeling approach to use in order to estimate the expected total travel time.
