A conserved higher-order anisotropic traffic flow model: description of equilibrium and non-equilibrium flows

P Zhang, SC Wong, SQ Dai - Transportation Research Part B …, 2009 - Elsevier
This paper takes into account three regimes for the description of traffic dynamics, which
include the introduction of a pseudo-density transformed from the velocity, the pressure as a …

Anisotropic property revisited––does it hold in multi-lane traffic?

HM Zhang - Transportation Research Part B: Methodological, 2003 - Elsevier
The anisotropic property of traffic flow has brought much discussion about some existing
traffic flow models and diverging views on the further development of traffic flow theories …

R Borsche, M Kimathi, A Klar - Computers & Mathematics with Applications, 2012 - Elsevier
In the present paper a review and numerical comparison of a special class of multi-phase
traffic theories based on microscopic, kinetic and macroscopic traffic models is given …

Nonlinear analysis of traffic jams in an anisotropic continuum model

AK Gupta, S Sharma - Chinese Physics B, 2010 - iopscience.iop.org
This paper presents our study of the nonlinear stability of a new anisotropic continuum traffic
flow model in which the dimensionless parameter or anisotropic factor controls the non …

Mixing microscopic and macroscopic representations of traffic flow: Hybrid model based on Lighthill–Whitham–Richards theory

E Bourrel, JB Lesort - Transportation Research Record, 2003 - journals.sagepub.com
The hybrid traffic flow model, coupling a microscopic (vehicle-based) and a macroscopic
(flow-based) representation of traffic flow, may be a useful tool to better understand the …

Some remarks on macroscopic traffic flow modelling

M Papageorgiou - Transportation Research Part A: Policy and Practice, 1998 - Elsevier
This note contributes to the discussion on the current state and the prospectives of
macroscopic traffic flow modelling. It is argued that macroscopic traffic flow models may …

Admissibility of a wide cluster solution in “anisotropic” higher-order traffic flow models

RY Xu, P Zhang, SQ Dai, SC Wong - SIAM Journal on Applied Mathematics, 2007 - SIAM
We analytically investigate a wide cluster solution and show that it is not admitted in some of
the traffic flow models in the literature. For those traffic flow models that admit the wide …

Two-phase bounded-acceleration traffic flow model: analytical solutions and applications

JP Lebacque - Transportation Research Record, 2003 - journals.sagepub.com
A two-phase traffic flow model is described. One phase is traffic equilibrium: flow and speed
are functions of density, and traffic acceleration is low. The second phase is characterized by …

A multi-class traffic flow model–an extension of LWR model with heterogeneous drivers

GCK Wong, SC Wong - Transportation Research Part A: Policy and …, 2002 - Elsevier
In this paper, a multi-class traffic flow model as an extension of the Lighthill, Whitham and
Richards (LWR) model with heterogeneous drivers is formulated. The model takes into …

On fluido-dynamic models for urban traffic

M Garavello, B Piccoli - Networks and Heterogeneous media, 2009 - aimsciences.org
The aim of this paper is to address the following questions: which models, among fluido-
dynamic ones, are more appropriate to describe urban traffic? While a rich debate was …
