Continuous Riemann Solvers for Traffic Flow at a Junction
نویسندگان
چکیده
The paper studies a class of conservation law models for traffic flow on a family of roads, near a junction. A Riemann Solver is constructed, where the incoming and outgoing fluxes depend Hölder continuously on the traffic density and on the drivers’ turning preferences. However, various examples show that, if junction conditions are assigned in terms of Riemann Solvers, then the Cauchy problem on a network of roads can be ill posed, even for initial data having small total variation.

Phase Transition Model for Traffic at a Junction
Consider a junction with n incoming and m outgoing roads. Along each road, the flow of traffic is described through the continuum model displaying phase transitions introduced in [5]. This note provides a Riemann solver for the resulting Riemann problem at the junction. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 35L65, 90B10.
متن کاملMethod of Video-Measurements of Traffic Flow Characteristics at a Road Junction
In the theory of traffic flows the main characteristics are: intensity, speed, and density. They make it possible to use hydrodynamic models. In connection with the development of modern highways and road networks, traffic flows behavior is becoming more and more complex and diverse. In particular, the B.Kerner studies have shown that the laminar solution of hydrodynamic models is poorly corre...
متن کاملConservation laws with discontinuous flux
We consider an hyperbolic conservation law with discontinuous flux. Such partial differential equation arises in different applicative problems, in particular we are motivated by a model of traffic flow. We provide a new formulation in terms of Riemann Solvers. Moreover, we determine the class of Riemann Solvers which provide existence and uniqueness of the corresponding weak entropic solutions...
متن کاملContinuous kinematic wave models of merging traffic flow
Traffic dynamics at a merging junction can be numerically solved with discrete conservation equationsand so-called supply-demand methods. In this paper, we first introduce a continuous multi-commoditykinematic wave model of merging traffic and then develop a new framework for constructing the solutionsto its Riemann problem with jump initial conditions. In the supply-demand spac...

The purpose of this study was to investigate traffic flow characteristics at off-ramp junctions in Iranian expressways. The study was conducted on the traffic behavior in isolated off-ramp vicinity of 6-lane expressways. The database consisted of traffic flow and traffic speed information extracted from videotapes. The relationship between diverging traffic flow in the right lane of expressway ...
