    This document describes Greenshield's traffic flow model, which relates traffic speed, density, and flow using three equations. It allows the user to enter values for free-flow speed and jam density, and then displays interactive graphs showing the relationships between speed-density and speed-flow as the density varies from 0% to 100% of the jam density. Calculations for speed, flow, and density at increments of 10% jam density are also shown.
