Continuum Modelling of Traffic Flow
نویسنده
چکیده
We wish to consider the problem of modelling flow of vehicles within a traffic network. In the past, stochastic traffic models have been developed [13, 8] in order to investigate a wide range of traffic configurations. However, if the population is sufficiently large, these stochastic processes tend towards a continuum approach. Consequently, this approach is most useful when considering long, densely-populated roads, but becomes invalid as the traffic on the road becomes sparse.

Literature Review of Traffic Assignment: Static and Dynamic
Rapid urban growth is resulting into increase in travel demand and private vehicle ownership in urban areas. In the present scenario the existing infrastructure has failed to match the demand that leads to traffic congestion, vehicular pollution and accidents. With traffic congestion augmentation on the road, delay of commuters has increased and reliability of road network has decreased. Four s...
متن کاملAdaptive Online Traffic Flow Prediction Using Aggregated Neuro Fuzzy Approach
Short term prediction of traffic flow is one of the most essential elements of all proactive traffic control systems. Although various methodologies have been applied to forecast traffic parameters, several researchers have showed that compared with the individual methods, hybrid methods provide more accurate results . These results made the hybrid tools and approaches a more common method for ...
متن کاملOn the role of source terms in continuum traffic flow models
We introduce some models for vehicular traffic flow based on hyperbolic balance laws. We focus in particular on source terms for modeling highway entries and exits or local changes of the traffic flow due to inhomogeneities of the road. Rigorous well-posedness results and numerical investigations are presented. We show in particular how real phenomena (e.g. the formation of a queue) that are no...
متن کاملMetric properties of discrete time exclusion type processes in continuum
A new class of exclusion type processes acting in continuum with synchronous updating is introduced and studied. Ergodic averages of particle velocities are obtained and their connections to other statistical quantities, in particular to the particle density (the so called Fundamental Diagram) is analyzed rigorously. The main technical tool is a “dynamical” coupling applied in a nonstandard fas...
متن کاملModelling Traffic Flow on Motorways: a Hybrid Macroscopic Approach
The necessity for transportation research has been prompted by the exponential rise in vehicle use, research in the field has expanded and diversified accordingly. Despite substantial work having been carried out in Macroscopic modelling, the theory is far from complete [1]. The paper presents a hybrid model which combines the strengths of macroscopic models; the continuum method with forecasti...
