Low-dimensional periodic arrays of scatterers with a moving point particle are ideal models for studying deterministic diffusion. For such systems the diffusion coefficient is typically an irregular function under variation of a control…
We extend the classical LWR traffic model allowing different maximal speeds to different vehicles. Then, we add a uniform bound on the traffic speed. The result, presented in this paper, is a new macro- scopic model displaying 2 phases,…
We propose and study a nonlocal conservation law modelling traffic flow in the existence of inter-vehicle communication. It is assumed that the nonlocal information travels at a finite speed and the model involves a space-time nonlocal…
We present a traffic flow model consisting of a gluing between the Lighthill-Whitham and Richards macroscopic model with a first order microscopic follow the leader model. The basic analytical properties of this model are investigated.…
We offer a simple and self-contained proof that the Follow-the-Leader model converges to the Lighthill-Whitham-Richards model for traffic flow.
Vehicles in developing countries have widely varying dimensions and speeds, and drivers tend to not follow lane discipline. In this flow state called "mixed traffic", the interactions between drivers and the resulting maneuvers resemble…
Based on a class of moderately interacting particle systems, we establish a quantitative approximation for density-dependent McKean-Vlasov SDEs and the corresponding nonlinear, nonlocal PDEs. The SDE is driven by both Brownian motion and…
In this paper, we prove particle approximations of initial data for systems of conservation laws in two dimensions. This involves approaching the density but also all the additional quantities that could be verified by the model considered.…
We are interested in 2x2 systems of conservation laws of special structure, including generalized Aw-Rascle and Zhang (GARZ) models for road traffic. The simplest representative is the Keyfitz-Kranzer system, where one equation is nonlinear…
We consider a class of nonlocal conservation laws with an interaction kernel supported on the negative real half-line and featuring a decreasing jump at the origin. We provide, for the first time, an existence and uniqueness theory for said…

This paper deals with the one-dimensional formulation of Hughes model for pedestrian flows in the setting of entropy solutions, which authorizes non-classical shocks at the location of the so-called turning curve. We consider linear cost…
The cohesive collective motion (flocking, swarming) of autonomous agents is ubiquitously observed and exploited in both natural and man-made settings, thus, minimal models for its description are essential. In a model with continuous space…
We provide an overview of the results on Hughes' model for pedestrian movements available in the literature. After the first successful approaches to solving a regularised version of the model, researchers focused on the structure of the…
