چکیده

An approximate Riemann solver for the Aw-Rascle traffic flow model and the extension of Greenberg is constructed on the algebraic level. A discrete diffusion operator is added to the (oscillatory) high-order finite difference/element discretization to enforce a vectorial LED criterion. This yields a nonoscillatory but diffusive low-order scheme. To increase the accuracy an antidiffusion operator is added. The amount of antidiffusion is controlled using TVD flux limiters. Practical algorithms are presented for the derivation of the low-order scheme, construction of the antidiffusion operator, and the solution of the arising nonlinear algebraic system. Another option considered in this paper is based on a segregated treatment of the equations at hand. It is shown that scalar upwinding/limiting techniques are inappropriate, since even the low-order scheme produces oscillatory solutions to the coupled AR model, although it is monotone for each single equation. Hence, the strongly coupled algorithm developed in this paper yields superior results, as demonstrated by numerical examples.

Extensions and Amplifications of a Traffic Model of Aw and Rascle

In a recent paper Aw and Rascle [SIAM J. Appl. Math., 60 (2000), pp. 916–938] introduced a new model of traffic on a uni-directional highway. Here the author studies an extension of this model, one which accounts for drivers attempting to travel at the maximum allowable speed. The author looks at a Lagrangian reformulation of this problem, a formulation that leads to an effective computational ...

A total variation diminishing high resolution scheme for nonlinear conservation laws

In this paper we propose a novel high resolution scheme for scalar nonlinear hyperbolic conservation laws. The aim of high resolution schemes is to provide at least second order accuracy in smooth regions and produce sharp solutions near the discontinuities. We prove that the proposed scheme that is derived by utilizing an appropriate flux limiter is nonlinear stable in the sense of total varia...

A Hybrid Lagrangian Model Based on the Aw--Rascle Traffic Flow Model

In this paper, we propose a simple fully discrete hybrid model for vehicular traffic flow, for which both the macroscopic and the microscopic models are based on a Lagrangian discretization of the “Aw-Rascle” (AR) model [3]. This hybridization makes use of the relation between the AR macroscopic model and a Follow-the-Leader type model [15, 22], established in [2]. Moreover, in the hybrid model...

Existence of Solutions for the Aw–rascle Traffic Flow Model with Vacuum

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 p...

The 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...
