A Kinematic Wave Traffic Flow Model for Mixed Traffic
In this paper we extend the Lighthill-Whitham-Richards kinematic wave traffic flow model to describe traffic with different types of vehicles, where all types of vehicles are completely mixed and travel at the same group velocity. A study of such a model with two vehicle classes (e.g., passenger cars and trucks) shows that, when both classes of traffic have identical free-flow speeds, the model...
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...
متن کاملA kinematic wave theory of lane-changing traffic flow
Frequent lane-changes in highway merging, diverging, and weaving areas could disrupt traffic flow and, even worse, lead to accidents. In this paper, we propose a simple model for studying bottleneck effects of lane-changing traffic and aggregate traffic dynamics of a roadway with lane-changing areas. Based on the observation that, when changing its lane, a vehicle affects traffic on both its cu...
متن کاملA kinematic wave theory of multi-commodity network traffic flow
A systematic understanding of traffic dynamics on road networks is crucial for many transportation studies and can help to develop more efficient ramp metering, evacuation, signal control, and other management and control strategies. In this study, we present a theory of multi-commodity network traffic flow based on the Lighthill–Whitham–Richards (LWR) model. In particular, we attempt to analyz...
متن کاملThe Inhomogeneous Kinematic Wave Traffic Flow Model as a Resonant Nonlinear System
The kinematic wave traffic flow model for an inhomogeneous road is studied as a resonant nonlinear system, where an additional conservation law is introduced to model time-invariant road inhomogeneities such as changes in grades or number of lanes. This resonant system has two families of waves, one of which is a standing wave originated at the inhomogeneity. The nature of these waves are exami...
