We consider two scalar conservation laws with non-local flux functions, describing traffic flow on roads with rough conditions. In the first model, the velocity of the car depends on an averaged downstream density, while in the second model…
Moving and fixed bottlenecks are moving or fixed capacity restrictions that affect the propagation of traffic flow. They are a very important modeling approach to describe the effects of slow vehicles and traffic signals in transportation…
We consider one-dimensional asymmetric exclusion processes with a simple attractive interaction, where the distance between consecutive particles is not allowed to exceed a certain limit and investigate the consequences of this coupling on…
We introduce an optimum principle for a vehicular traffic network with road bottlenecks. This network breakdown minimization (BM) principle states that the network optimum is reached, when link flow rates are assigned in the network in such…
We propose a model describing the traffic flow on a road with variable widths in this paper. The model, which is modified the Aw-Rascle model, is not conservative because of the source term. We obtain the elementary waves of the new traffic…

The pattern dynamics of the one-way coupled logistic lattice which can serve as a phenomenological model for open flow is investigated and shown to be extremely rich. For medium and large coupling strengths, we find spatially periodic,…
We study vehicular traffic on a road with multiple lanes and dense, unidirectional traffic following the traditional Lighthill-Whitham-Richards model where the velocity in each lane depends only on the density in the same lane. The model…
Fundamental diagrams describe the relationship between speed, flow, and density for some roadway (or set of roadway) configuration(s). These diagrams typically do not reflect, however, information on how speed-flow relationships change as a…
Routing control is one of important traffic management strategies against urban congestion. However, it could be compromised by heterogeneous driver non-compliance with routing instructions. In this article we model the compliance in a…
For realistic scale-free networks, we investigate the traffic properties of stochastic routing inspired by a zero-range process known in statistical physics. By parameters $\alpha$ and $\delta$, this model controls degree-dependent hopping…

In this paper we study coordinated multipath routing at the flow-level in networks with routes of length one. As a first step the static case is considered, in which the number of flows is fixed. A clustering pattern in the rate allocation…
We consider a modified Nagel-Schreckenberg (NS) model in which drivers do not decelerate if their speed is smaller than the headway (number of empty sites to the car ahead). (In the original NS model, such a reduction in speed occurs with…
We study a nonlocal traffic flow model with an Arrhenius type look-ahead interaction. We show a sharp critical threshold condition on the initial data which distinguishes the global smooth solutions and finite time wave break-down.
We present a model of traffic flow on generic urban road networks based on cellular automata. We apply this model to an existing road network in the Australian city of Melbourne, using empirical data as input. For comparison, we also apply…
In this paper, we aim to mitigate congestion in traffic management systems by guiding travelers along system-optimal (SO) routes. However, we recognize that most theoretical approaches assume perfect driver compliance, which often does not…

Experimental studies on vehicular traffic provide data on quantities like density, flux, and mean speed of the vehicles. However, the diagrams relating these variables (the fundamental and speed diagrams) show some peculiarities not yet…
