Recently we proposed an extension to the traffic model of Aw, Rascle and Greenberg. The extended traffic model can be written as a hyperbolic system of balance laws and numerically reproduces the reverse $\lambda$ shape of the fundamental…

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…

In this paper, we introduce a traffic flow model based on a microscopic follow-the-leader model, while enforcing maximal constraints on the density and velocity of the flow. The related macroscopic model can be represented in conservative…

We consider solutions of the Aw-Rascle model for traffic flow fulfilling a constraint on the flux at $x=0$. Two different kinds of solutions are proposed: at $x=0$ the first one conserves both the number of vehicles and the generalized…

We derive a nonlinear 2-equation discrete-velocity model for traffic flow from a continuous kinetic model. The model converges to scalar Lighthill-Whitham type equations in the relaxation limit for all ranges of traffic data. Moreover, the…

It is understood that congestion in traffic can be interpreted in terms of the instability of the equation of dynamic motion. The evolution of a traffic system from an unstable or metastable state to a globally stable state bears a strong…

In this work, we show that the inverse-$\lambda$ shape in the fundamental diagram of traffic flow can be produced dynamically by a simple nonlinear mesoscopic model with stochastic noises. The proposed model is based on the gas-kinetic…

We consider, in the Aw-Rascle-Zhang traffic flow model, the problem of the asymptotic stability of constant flows. By using a perturbative approach, we show the stability in a larger space of perturbation than previous results. Furthermore,…

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 [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…

We study the derivation of second order macroscopic traffic models from kinetic descriptions. In particular, we recover the celebrated Aw-Rascle model as the hydrodynamic limit of an Enskog-type kinetic equation out of a precise…

This paper deals with the Aw-Rascle-Zhang model for traffic flow on uni-directional road networks. For the conservation of the mass and the generalized momentum, we construct weak solutions for Riemann problems at the junctions. We…

Traffic on a circular road is described by dynamic programming equations associated to optimal control problems. By solving the equations analytically, we derive the relation between the average car density and the average car flow, known…

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…

The gas-kinetic foundation of fluid-dynamic traffic equations suggested in previous papers [Physica A 219, 375 and 391 (1995)] is further refined by applying the theory of dense gases and granular materials to the Boltzmann-like traffic…

Recent applications of a new methodology to measure fundamental traffic relations on freeways shows that many of the critical parameters of the flow-density and speed-spacing diagrams depend on vehicle length. In response to this fact, we…

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…

Traffic flow modeling spans a wide range of mathematical approaches, from microscopic descriptions of individual vehicle dynamics to macroscopic models based on aggregate quantities. A fundamental challenge in macroscopic modeling lies in…

The basic properties of traffic flow are analyzed using a simple deterministic one dimensional "car following model" with continuous variables based on a model introduced by Nagel and Herrmann [Physica A 199 254--269 (1993)] including a few…

We consider the multi-dimensional generalization of the Aw-Rascle system for vehicular traffic. For an arbitrary large class of initial data and the periodic domain, we prove the existence of global-in-time measure-valued solutions.…
