Phase Transition Model for Traffic at a Junction
نویسندگان
چکیده
Consider a junction with n incoming and m outgoing roads. Along each road, the flow of traffic is described through the continuum model displaying phase transitions introduced in [5]. This note provides a Riemann solver for the resulting Riemann problem at the junction. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 35L65, 90B10.

Method of Video-Measurements of Traffic Flow Characteristics at a Road Junction
In the theory of traffic flows the main characteristics are: intensity, speed, and density. They make it possible to use hydrodynamic models. In connection with the development of modern highways and road networks, traffic flows behavior is becoming more and more complex and diverse. In particular, the B.Kerner studies have shown that the laminar solution of hydrodynamic models is poorly corre...
متن کاملA new stochastic cellular automaton model on traffic flow and its jamming phase transition
A general stochastic traffic cellular automaton (CA) model, which includes slow-to-start effect and driver’s perspective, is proposed in this paper. It is shown that this model includes well known traffic CA models such as NagelSchreckenberg model, Quick-Start model, and Slow-to-Start model as specific cases. Fundamental diagrams of this new model clearly show metastable states around the criti...
متن کاملTraffic Scene Analysis using Hierarchical Sparse Topical Coding
Analyzing motion patterns in traffic videos can be exploited directly to generate high-level descriptions of the video contents. Such descriptions may further be employed in different traffic applications such as traffic phase detection and abnormal event detection. One of the most recent and successful unsupervised methods for complex traffic scene analysis is based on topic models. In this pa...
متن کاملInvestigation into the temperature dependence of isotropic- nematic phase transition of Gay- Berne liquid crystals
Density functional approach was used to study the isotropic- nematic (I-N) transition and calculate the values of freezing parameters of the Gay- Berne liquid crystal model. New direct and pair correlation functions of a molecular fluid with Gay- Berne pair potential were used. These new functions were used in density functional theory as input to calculate the isotropic- nematic transition den...
متن کاملTraffic Flow Characteristics of Isolated Off-ramps in Iranian Expressways
The purpose of this study was to investigate traffic flow characteristics at off-ramp junctions in Iranian expressways. The study was conducted on the traffic behavior in isolated off-ramp vicinity of 6-lane expressways. The database consisted of traffic flow and traffic speed information extracted from videotapes. The relationship between diverging traffic flow in the right lane of expressway ...
