Lagrangian GSOM traffic flow models on junctions
Résumé
This paper is concerned with the macroscopic modeling and simulation of traffic flow
on junctions. More precisely, we deal with a generic class of second order models, known in the literature as the GSOM family. While classical approaches focus on the Eulerian point-of-view, here we recast the model using its Lagrangian coordinates and we treat the junction as a specific discontinuity in Lagrangian framework. We propose a complete numerical methodology based on a finite difference scheme for solving such a model and we provide a numerical example.
