The present research article is devoted to the study of two fluid-dynamical traffic models and their steady states by first analyzing the kinetic-type Borsche-Kimathi-Klar model and the Navier-Stokes-type Helbing model. To fulfill this…
Two approaches to incorporate heterogeneity in discrete models are compared. In the first, standard approach, the heterogeneity is dictated by geometrical structure of the discrete system. In the second approach, the heterogeneity is…
Complex dynamical systems are notoriously difficult to model because some degrees of freedom (e.g., small scales) may be computationally unresolvable or are incompletely understood, yet they are dynamically important. For example, the small…
