## Abstract Multispecies kinematic flow models lead to nonlinear systems of conservation laws with a possibly large number of unknowns, the concentrations or the densities of the different species. In recent years, the hyperbolic character of several of these models has been analyzed by considering

β¦ Synopsis
In this paper, a wavelet-Galerkin formulation with domain transformation is applied to solve the kinematic wave model of tra$c #ow. A domain transformation method is employed to resolve the constraints imposed on the solution variables. This avoids the problem of generating invalid solution of tra$c states as with conventional numerical schemes for the wave model. With the localized scaling function or wavelet, the method is also capable of capturing the shock wave in the tra$c model. Moreover, due to the localized characteristics of wavelets, the bandwidths of matrices are usually very small. Therefore, a robust bandmatrix solver can be employed to enhance computational e$ciency. Numerical examples are given to demonstrate the e!ectiveness of the proposed method.
