Enskog-like Kinetic Models for Vehicular Traffic
نویسنده
چکیده
In the present paper a general critisicsm of kinetic equations for vehicular traac is given. The necessity of introducing an Enskog-type correction into these equations is shown. An Enskog-like kinetic traac ow equation is presented and uid dynamic equations are derived. This derivation yields new coeecients for the standard uid dynamic equations of vehicular traac. Numerical simulations for inhomogeneous traac ow situations are shown together with a comparison between kinetic and uid dynamic models.

Enskog-like discrete velocity models for vehicular traffic flow
We consider an Enskog-like discrete velocity model which in the limit yields the viscous Lighthill-Whitham-Richards equation used to describe vehicular traffic flow. Consideration is given to a discrete velocity model with two speeds. Extensions to the Aw-Rascle system and more general discrete velocity models are also discussed. In particular, only positive speeds are allowed in the discrete v...
متن کاملA Hierarchy of Models for Multilane Vehicular Traffic I: Modeling
In the present paper multilane models for vehicular traac are considered. A microscopic multilane model based on reaction thresholds is developed. Based on this model an Enskog like kinetic model is developed. In particular, care is taken to incorporate the correlations between the vehicles. From the kinetic model a uid dynamic model is derived. The macroscopic coeecients are deduced from the u...
متن کاملFrom Microscopic to Macroscopic Traffic Models
The paper presents a systematic derivation of macroscopic equations for freeway traffic flow from an Enskog-like kinetic approach. The resulting fluid-dynamic traffic equations for the spatial density, average velocity, and velocity variance of vehicles are compared to equations, which can be obtained from a microscopic force model of individual vehicle motion. Simulation results of the models ...
متن کاملStructure and Instability of High-Density Equations for Traffic Flow
Similar to the treatment of dense gases, fluid-dynamic equations for the dynamics of congested vehicular traffic are derived from Enskog-like kinetic equations. These contain additional terms due to the anisotropic vehicle interactions. The calculations are carried out up to Navier-Stokes order. A linear instability analysis indicates an additional kind of instability compared to previous macro...
متن کاملGas-kinetic derivation of Navier-Stokes-like traffic equations.
Macroscopic traffic models have recently been severely criticized to base on lax analogies only and to have a number of deficiencies. Therefore, this paper shows how to construct a logically consistent fluid-dynamic traffic model from basic laws for the acceleration and interaction of vehicles. These considerations lead to the gas-kinetic traffic equation of Paveri-Fontana. Its stationary and s...
