No "the benefits" have NOT been explained.
Some "statements" have been made that it is more efficient to wait until the last minute to merge, but I have not seen one single "explanation" as to why it would be so.
From an engineering perspective I see absolutely ZERO reason that "the flow through a FIFO will be increased by providing a bigger input buffer to the FIFO".
(in THIS case the "bigger buffer" is the additional capacity for a few more cars to sit & wait, NOT my 'buffer zone' in the drawing above)
In fact I could make the argument that "a proper input serializer WILL increase the throughput of a FIFO IF the FIFO circuit was previously tasked with the serialization".
See I can make "statements" but no-one will say these are "facts".
BUT my statements are much closer to fact than "because Joe the transportation engineer said so".
I gave TWO quotes from "experts" that contradict what you consider to be "facts" yet you did not address those?
Are they not from a worthy enough source for you?
"Traffic scientists can only agree about the ideal scenario, where the rules of time and space yield so obedient drivers slow down, fit nicely into the next available lane and then elegantly glide through a work zone as if in a well-timed waltz."
TRAFFIC SCIENTISTS AGREE - or did you miss that?
"
To wait until the last moment and muscle your way in is inefficient," said Doug Hecox, a Federal Highway Administration spokesman. "And it's a risk to the other motorists who have to stop and give way."
Unfortunately, Hecox said, local conditions and human fallibility mean each situation warrants a different solution."
The only argument presented for WHY waiting until the last moment to merge was to make it so that people
cannot TRY to bypass the buffer zone and cause a traffic jam.
The ONLY argument that is even partially valid is "To make it so people CANNOT BE ****heads"
If the people CHOSE to not be ****heads, then the flow would INCREASE by providing the buffer zone.
