This letter focuses on the problem of traffic state estimation for highway networks with junctions in the form of on- and off-ramps while maintaining differential privacy of traffic data. Two types of sensors are considered, fixed sensors…

In this paper we present a numerical study of some variations of the Hughes model for pedestrian flow under different types of congestion effects. The general model consists of a coupled non-linear PDE system involving an eikonal equation…
In this paper, we propose a control design methodology for a linearized continuum traffic model in the congested regime. The continuum traffic flow on a highway is modeled using a linearized quasilinear hyperbolic partial differential…
Recent empirical studies have reported that spatiotemporal congestion clusters in urban traffic exhibit scale-free statistics, with cluster size following a power-law distribution. In this study, we address whether macroscopic continuum…
We review recent results and present new ones on a deterministic follow-the-leader particle approximation of first and second order models for traffic flow and pedestrian movements. We start by constructing the particle scheme for the first…
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…
In this paper, a particle method is used to approximate the solutions of a "fluid-like" macroscopic traffic flow model for automated vehicles. It is shown that this method preserves certain differential inequalities that hold for the…
In this paper we study a phase transition model for vehicular traffic flows. Two phases are taken into account, according to whether the traffic is light or heavy. We assume that the two phases have a non-empty intersection, the so called…
In this article we introduce a new Riemann solver for traffic flow on networks. The Priority Riemann solver (PRS) provides a solution at junctions by taking into consideration priorities for the incoming roads and maximization of through…
In this paper, we present a new approach that generalizes the existing second-order hydrodynamic traffic models. In the proposed approach, we use the expression for the relative velocity of disturbances propagation in traffic flow. We show…
In [7], Berthelin, Degond, Delitala and Rascle introduced a traffic flow model describing the formation and the dynamics of traffic jams. This model consists of a Pressureless Gas Dynamics system under a maximal constraint on the density…
This paper is concerned with the study of a model case of first order Hamilton-Jacobi equations posed on a "junction", that is to say the union of a finite number of half-lines with a unique common point. The main result is a comparison…
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…
We generalize the phase transition model studied in [R. Colombo. Hyperbolic phase transition in traffic flow.\ SIAM J.\ Appl.\ Math., 63(2):708-721, 2002], that describes the evolution of vehicular traffic along a one-lane road. Two…
We derive a modular fluid-flow network congestion control model based on a law of fundamental nature in networks: the conservation of information. Network elements such as queues, users, and transmission channels and network performance…
In this paper we present a new kind of model for traffic flow which couples a first-order macroscopic approach with a second-order microscopic approach, avoiding any interface or boundary conditions between them. The Euler-Godunov scheme…
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 study a class of nonlinear nonlocal conservation laws with discontinuous flux, modeling crowd dynamics and traffic flow, without any additional conditions on finiteness/discreteness of the set of discontinuities or on the monotonicity of…
We find a further class of exact solutions to the Lighthill Whitham Richards Payne (LWRP) traffic flow equations. As before, using two consecutive Lagrangian transformations, a linearization is achieved. Next, depending on the initial…
