Traffic Flow Models and Their Numerical Solutions

Traffic 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 ...

General kinetic models for vehicular traffic flow and Monte Carlo methods

In this paper we present a general derivation of kinetic models for traffic flows including different kind of interaction rules. We show that most kinetic models previously derived can be cast in the actual formulation. The development of Monte Carlo methods for direct simulation of the kinetic models is considered as an initial step towards realistic and efficient computations of traffic pheno...

Optimal REroute Strategies for Traffic managEment (ORESTE)

ORESTE is an associated team between OPALE project-team at INRIA and the Mobile Millennium / Integrated Corridor Management (ICM) team at UC Berkeley focused on traffic management. With this project, we aim at processing GPS traffic data with up-to-date mathematical techniques to optimize traffic flows in corridors. More precisely, we seek for optimal reroute strategies to reduce freeway conges...

Adaptive multiresolution WENO schemes for Traffic Flow Problems

Multi-species kinematic flow models lead to strongly coupled, nonlinear systems of firstorder, spatially one-dimensional conservation laws. The number of unknowns (the concentrations of the species) may be arbitrarily high. Models of this class include a multi-species generalization of the Lighthill-Whitham-Richards traffic model [4] and a model for the sedimentation of polydisperse suspensions...
