On Vlasov-Fokker-Planck Type Kinetic Models for Multilane Traffic Flow
Abstract. We discuss rationales for kinetic descriptions of traffic dynamics and present a class of new models of VlasovFokker-Planck type. These models incorporate (nonlocal and time-delayed) braking and acceleration terms which are consistent with realistic time scales. Correlation assumptions are made such that braking and acceleration terms depend only on macroscopic densities and the relat...
متن کاملOn the Mathematical Theory of Vehicular Traffic Flow I. Fluid Dynamic and Kinetic Modelling
This review reports the existing literature on traffic flow modelling in the framework of a critical overview which aims to indicate research perspectives. The contents mainly refer to modelling by fluid dynamic and kinetic equations and are arranged in three parts. The first part refers to methodological aspects of mathematical modelling and to the interpretation of experimental results. The s...
متن کاملEntropy methods for kinetic models of traffic flow
In these notes we first introduce logarithmic entropy methods for time-dependent driftdiffusion equations and then consider a kinetic model of Vlasov-Fokker-Planck type for traffic flows. In the spatially homogeneous case the model reduces to a special type of nonlinear drift-diffusion equation which may permit the existence of several stationary states corresponding to the same density. Then w...
متن کاملMacroscopic dynamics of multilane traffic.
We present a macroscopic model of mixed multilane freeway traffic that can be easily calibrated to empirical traffic data, as is shown for Dutch highway data. The model is derived from a gas-kinetic level of description, including effects of vehicular space requirements and velocity correlations between successive vehicles. We also give a derivation of the lane-changing rates. The resulting dyn...
متن کاملKinetic Theory of Traffic Flows
We describe traffic flows in one lane roadways using kinetic theory, with special emphasis on the role of quenched randomness in the velocity distributions. When passing is forbidden, growing clusters are formed behind slow cars and the cluster velocity distribution is governed by an exact Boltzmann equation which is linear and has an infinite memory. The distributions of the cluster size and t...
