Exploring the Behavior of LWR Continuum Models of Traffic Flow in Presence of Shock Waves
Abstract LWR (Lighthill-Whitham-Richards) models represent the behavior of traffic streams through the continuity equation and an assumed equilibrium speed-density relationship. Such models assume traffic streams to be always in equilibrium. That is ...
