Existence of Solutions for the Aw–rascle Traffic Flow Model with Vacuum
نویسنده
چکیده
We consider the macroscopic model for traffic flow proposed by Aw and Rascle in 2000. The model is a 2×2 system of hyperbolic conservation laws, or, when the model includes a relaxation term, a 2 × 2 system of hyperbolic balance laws. The main difficulty is the presence of vacuum, which makes us unable to control the total variation of the conservative variables. We allow vacuum to appear and prove existence of a weak entropy solution to the Cauchy problem.

Car-following and the Macroscopic Aw–rascle Traffic Flow Model
We consider a semi-discrete car-following model and the macroscopic Aw–Rascle model for traffic flow given in Lagrangian form. The solution of the car-following model converges to a weak entropy solution of the system of hyperbolic balance laws with Cauchy initial data. For the homogeneous system, we allow vacuum in the initial data. By using properties of the semi-discrete model, we show that ...
متن کاملThe Aw-Rascle traffic flow model with phase transitions
We introduce a new model of traffic flow with phase transitions. The model is obtained by coupling together the classical Lighthill-Whitham-Richards (LWR) equation with the 2 × 2 system described in [A. Aw and M. Rascle, Resurrection of “second order” models of traffic flow, SIAM J. Appl. Math., 60 (2000), pp. 916–938]. We describe the solutions of the Riemann problem, and we compare the result...
متن کاملThe Aw-Rascle traffic model with locally constrained flow
We consider solutions of the Aw-Rascle model for traffic flow fulfilling a constraint on the flux at x = 0. Two different kinds of solutions are proposed: at x = 0 the first one conserves both the number of vehicles and the generalized momentum, while the second one conserves only the number of cars. We study the invariant domains for these solutions and we compare the two Riemann solvers in te...
متن کاملThe Cauchy problem for the Aw-Rascle-Zhang traffic model with locally constrained flow
We study the Cauchy problem for the Aw-Rascle-Zhang model for traffic flow with a flux constraint at x = 0. More precisely we consider the Riemann solver, conserving the number of cars at x = 0 but not the generalized momentum, introduced in [9] for the problem with flux constrained. For such a Riemann solver, we prove existence of a solution for the Cauchy problem. The proof is based on the wa...
متن کاملA Traffic-Flow Model with Constraints for the Modeling of Traffic Jams
Recently, Berthelin et al [5] introduced a traffic flow model describing the formation and the dynamics of traffic jams. This model which consists of a Constrained Pressureless Gas Dynamics system assumes that the maximal density constraint is independent of the velocity. However, in practice, the distribution of vehicles on a highway depends on their velocity. In this paper we propose a more r...
