Abstract
This technical note concerns the dynamics of FIFO-diverging junctions in compartmental models for traffic networks. Many strong results on the dynamical behavior of such traffic networks rely on monotonicity of the underlying dynamics. In road traffic modeling, a common model for diverging junctions is based on the First-in, first-out principle. These type of junctions pose a problem in the analysis of traffic dynamics, since their dynamics are not monotone with respect to the positive orthant. However, this technical note demonstrates that they are in fact monotone with respect to the partial order induced by a particular, polyhedral cone.
