In this paper we carry out a computational study of a novel microscopic follow-the-leader model for traffic flow on road networks. We assume that each driver has its own origin and destination, and wants to complete its journey in minimal…

Microscopic traffic flow models can be distinguished in lane-based or lane-free depending on the degree of lane-discipline. This distinction holds true only if motorcycles are neglected in lane-based traffic. In cities, as opposed to…

We prove the well-posedness of a system of balance laws inspired by [8], describing macro-scopically the traffic flow on a multi-lane road network. Motivated by real applications, we allow for the the presence of space discontinuities both…

Macroscopic traffic flow models are essential for analysing traffic dynamics in highways and urban roads. While second-order models like METANET capture non-equilibrium traffic states, they often produce unrealistic speed predictions, such…

We investigate a stochastic model hierarchy for pedestrian flow. Starting from a microscopic social force model, where the pedestrians switch randomly between the two states stop-or-go, we derive an associated macroscopic model of…

We develop a discrete Boltzmann-type model that uses dynamics in phase space to describe the behavior of traffic flows. Firstly, we model the traffic flow at mesoscopic scale using dynamics in phase space, which is considered as an…

We investigate two models for traffic flow with modified acceleration ('slow-to-start') rules. Even in the simplest case $v_{max}=1$ these rules break the 'particle-hole` symmetry of the model. We determine the fundamental diagram…

We introduce a stochastic traffic flow model to describe random traffic accidents on a single road. The model is a piecewise deterministic process incorporating traffic accidents and is based on a scalar conservation law with…

Traffic breakdown, as one of the most puzzling traffic flow phenomena, is characterized by sharply decreasing speed, abruptly increasing density and in particular suddenly plummeting capacity. In order to clarify its root mechanisms and…

A macroscopic model-based approach for estimation of the traffic state, specifically of the (total) density and flow of vehicles, is developed for the case of "mixed" traffic, i.e., traffic comprising both ordinary and connected vehicles.…
