A Review of Continuum Mathematical Models of Vehicular Traffic
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper reviews some of the major macroscopic and kinetic mathematical models of vehicular traffic available in the specialized literature. Application to road networks is also discussed, and an extensive list of references is provided to both the original works presented here and other sources for further details. Microscopic models are only briefly recalled in the Introduction for the sake of thoroughness, as they are actually beyond the scope of the review. However, suitable references are included for the interested readers.

Modeling for vehicular pollution in urban region; A review
Air pollution is one of the major threats to environment in the present time. Increase in degree of urbanization is a major cause of this air pollution. Due to urbanization, vehicular activities are continuously increasing at a tremendous rate. Mobile or vehicular pollution is predominantly degrading the air quality worldwide. Thus, air quality management is necessary for dealing with this seve...

متن کاملOn the role of source terms in continuum traffic flow models
We introduce some models for vehicular traffic flow based on hyperbolic balance laws. We focus in particular on source terms for modeling highway entries and exits or local changes of the traffic flow due to inhomogeneities of the road. Rigorous well-posedness results and numerical investigations are presented. We show in particular how real phenomena (e.g. the formation of a queue) that are no...
متن کاملA Kinematic Wave Traffic Flow Model for Mixed Traffic
In this paper we extend the Lighthill-Whitham-Richards kinematic wave traffic flow model to describe traffic with different types of vehicles, where all types of vehicles are completely mixed and travel at the same group velocity. A study of such a model with two vehicle classes (e.g., passenger cars and trucks) shows that, when both classes of traffic have identical free-flow speeds, the model...
متن کاملThird-order Decentralized Safe Consensus Protocol for Inter-connected Heterogeneous Vehicular Platoons
In this paper, the stability analysis and control design of heterogeneous traffic flow is considered. It is assumed that the traffic flow consists of infinite number of cooperative non-identical vehicular platoons. Two different networks are investigated in stability analysis of heterogeneous traffic flow: 1) inter-platoon network which deals with the communication topology of lead vehicles and...
