Moving Bottlenecks in Car Traffic Flow: A PDE-ODE Coupled Model
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study a model of vehicular traffic flow represented by a coupled system formed by a scalar conservation law, describing the evolution of cars density, and an ODE, whose solution is the position of a moving bottleneck, i.e. a slower vehicle moving inside the cars flow. A fractional step approach is used to approximate the coupled model and convergence is proved by compactness arguments. Finally, the limit of such approximating sequence is proved to solve the original PDE– ODE model. AMS subject classifications. 35L65, 34A36

Scalar Conservation Laws with Moving Density Constraints arising in Traffic Flow Modeling
We prove the existence of solutions of a coupled PDE-ODE system modeling the interaction of a large slow moving vehicle with the surrounding traffic flow. The model consists in a scalar conservation law with moving density constraint describing traffic evolution coupled with an ODE for the slow vehicle trajectory. The constraint location moves due to the surrounding traffic conditions, which in...
متن کاملTHE USE OF A RUNGE-KUTTA SCHEME FOR AN ODE-PDE MODEL OF SUPPLY CHAINS
Integrating various suppliers to satisfy market demand is of great importance for e ective supply chain management. In this paper, we consider the ODE-PDE model of supply chain and apply a classical explicit fourth-order Runge-Kutta scheme for the related ODE model of suppliers. Also, the convergence of the proposed method is proved. Finally a numerical example is studied to demonstrate the acc...
متن کاملCongested traffic dynamics, weak flows and very degenerate elliptic equations
Starting from a model of traffic congestion, we introduce a minimal-flow–like variational problem whose solution is characterized by a very degenerate elliptic PDE. We precisely investigate the relations between these two problems, which can be done by considering some weak notion of flow for a related ODE. We also prove regularity results for the degenerate elliptic PDE, which enables us in so...
متن کاملInvariance and homogenization of an adaptive time gap car-following model
In this paper we consider a microscopic model of traffic flow called the adaptive time gap carfollowing model. This is a system of ODEs which describes the interactions between cars moving on a single line. The time gap is the time that a car needs to reach the position of the car in front of it (if the car in front of it would not move and if the moving car would not change its velocity). In t...
متن کاملMoving bottlenecks for the Aw-Rascle-Zhang traffic flow model
We introduce a second order model for traffic flow with moving bottlenecks. The model consists of the 2×2 Aw-Rascle-Zhang system with a point-wise flow constraint whose trajectory is governed by an ordinary differential equation. We define two Riemann solvers, characterize the corresponding invariant domains and propose numerical strategies, which are effective in capturing the non-classical sh...
