Thresholds for Shock Formation in Traffic Flow Models with Arrhenius Look-ahead Dynamics

چکیده
We investigate a class of nonlocal conservation laws with the nonlinear advection coupling both local and nonlocal mechanism, which arises in several applications such as the collective motion of cells and traffic flows. It is proved that the C solution regularity of this class of conservation laws will persist at least for a short time. This persistency may continue as long as the solution gradient remains bounded. Based on this result, we further identify sub-thresholds for finite time shock formation in traffic flow models with Arrhenius look-ahead dynamics.

Stochastic Modeling and Simulation of Traffic Flow: Asymmetric Single Exclusion Process with Arrhenius look-ahead dynamics
A novel traffic flow model based on stochastic microscopic dynamics is introduced and analyzed. Vehicles advance based on the energy profile of their surrounding traffic implementing the “look-ahead” rule and following an underlying asymmetric exclusion process with Arrhenius spin-exchange dynamics. Monte Carlo simulations produce numerical solutions of the microscopic traffic model. Fluctuatio...
متن کاملKinetic Monte Carlo simulations of 1D and 2D traffic flows: Comparison of two look-ahead rules
We employ an efficient list-based kinetic Monte Carlo (KMC) method to study traffic flow models on one-dimensional (1D) and two-dimensional (2D) lattices based on the exclusion principle and Arrhenius microscopic dynamics. This model implements stochastic rules for cars’ movement based on the configuration of the traffic ahead of each car. In particular, we compare two different lookahead rules...
متن کاملNon-oscillatory central schemes for traffic flow models with Arrhenius look-ahead dynamics
We first develop non-oscillatory central schemes for a traffic flow model with Arrhenius look-ahead dynamics, proposed in [A. Sopasakis and M.A. Katsoulakis, SIAM J. Appl. Math., 66 (2006), pp. 921–944]. This model takes into account interactions of every vehicle with other vehicles ahead (“look-ahead” rule) and can be written as a one-dimensional scalar conservation law with a global flux. The...

متن کاملVorticity dynamics, Drift Wave Turbulence, and Zonal Flows: A Look Back and A Look Ahead
This paper surveys the basic ideas and results on fundamental models of drift wave turbulence, the formation of zonal flows, shear suppression of turbulence and transport, coupled drift wave and zonal flow dynamics, and application to transport bifurcations and transitions. Application to vortex dynamics and zonal flow phenomena in EMHD systems are discussed, as well. These are relevant to aspe...
