This paper clarifies the relationship between a Macroscopic Fundamental Diagram (MFD) and congestion patterns on a unidirectional network. Specifically, we formulate a new inverse problem of the dynamic user equilibrium assignment problem for a given congestion pattern. The proposed problem is formulated as a system of linear equations; by solving this, we can derive an analytical formula of a trip completion rate consistent with the congestion pattern.
