Modelling   Can we find a relationship between these variables
Speed of veschile v m/s
Separation distance d m
Length of veschile l m
Flow f veschile/sec

How long does it take the second veschile to replace the first?

t=(l+d)/v
How many veschiles pass in a minute? f=60*v/(l+d). This is a flow. Problem is to maximise f.
