Explicit and implicit numerical methods for solving simple traffic flow continuum models have been studied and efficiently implemented in traflic simulation codes. We studied and implemented explicit and implicit numerical methods for solving high-order flow conservation trallic models. The acceleration and inertia effects of the traffic mass are properly addressed in the new formulations. The high order model does not employ equilibrium flow-density relationships. We wrote an experimental code in C to simulate a freeway (un)congested pipeline and freeway entry/exit traffic flow. Tests with real data collected from the I-35 W freeway in Minneapolis were conducted on a workstation computer. The implicit Euler method gave the same (and in some cases better) accuracy as the explicit Lax method. The implicit Euler method wss (about three times) faster than the Lax method.

This paper deals with a stochastic interpretation of experimental information related to vehicular traffic on roads. The analysis is first related to equilibrium conditions, then it is developed towards interpretation of nonequilibrium conditions and it is addressed to some proposals to revise class
In this paper, we use a two-lane CA traffic model to simulate the multi-way traffic flow. A kind of control signal that can be considered as a perturbation is designated at a given site (i.e., signal point) of the right lane. Under the effect of control signal, the velocity of vehicle passing the si
In this paper, after introducing a classification of dynamic network loading (DNL) procedures (based on time, space, and demand discretization), many new methodologies recently presented are discussed.

A method was developed to estimate the potential reduction in fuel consumption that might be obtained by improving traffic flows. This method is accomplished by calculating the speed and acceleration of every vehicle per second, and matching the results with a table showing the fuel consumption for
