The article deals with a fluid dynamic model for traffic flow on a road network. This consists of a hyperbolic system of two equations proposed in Aw and Rascle (2000). A method to solve Riemann problems at junctions is given assigning rules on traffic distributions and maximizations of fluxes and other quantities. Then we discuss stability in L(infinity) norm of such solutions. Finally, we prove existence of entropic solutions to the Cauchy problem when the road network has only one junction.

Abstract

The article deals with a fluid dynamic model for traffic flow on a road network. This consists of a hyperbolic system of two equations proposed in Aw and Rascle (2000). A method to solve Riemann problems at junctions is given assigning rules on traffic distributions and maximizations of fluxes and other quantities. Then we discuss stability in L(infinity) norm of such solutions. Finally, we prove existence of entropic solutions to the Cauchy problem when the road network has only one junction.
