We investigate a model for traffic flow based on the Lighthill-Whitham-Richards model that consists of a hyperbolic conservation law with a discontinuous, piecewise-linear flux. A mollifier is used to smooth out the discontinuity in the…

Daganzo's criticisms of second-order fluid approximations of traffic flow [C. Daganzo, Transpn. Res. B. 29, 277-286 (1995)] and Aw and Rascle's proposal how to overcome them [A. Aw and M. Rascle, SIAM J. Appl. Math. 60, 916-938 (2000)] have…

Nonlinear hyperbolic partial differential equations govern continuum traffic flow models. Higher-order traffic flow models consisting of continuum equations and velocity dynamics were introduced to address the limitations of the Lighthill,…
In this study, we analyse the famous Aw-Rascle system in which the difference between the actual and the desired velocities (the offset function) is a gradient of a singular function of the density. This leads to a dissipation in the…

The Aw-Rascle-Zhang (ARZ) model can be interpreted as a generalization of the first order Lighthill-Whitham-Richards (LWR) model, possessing a family of fundamental diagram curves, rather than a single one. We investigate to which extent…
The societal impact of traffic is a long-standing and complex problem. We focus on the estimation of ozone production due to vehicular traffic. For this, we couple a system of conservation laws for vehicular traffic, an emission model, and…
