On entropic solutions to conservation laws coupled with moving bottlenecks
Abstract
Moving bottlenecks in road traffic represent an interesting mathematical problem, which can be modeled via
coupled PDE-ODE systems. We consider the case of a scalar conservation law modeling the evolution of vehicular traffic and an ODE with discontinuous right-hand side for the bottleneck. The bottleneck usually corresponds to a slow moving vehicle influencing the bulk traffic flow via a moving flux pointwise constraint.
The definition of solutions requires a special entropy condition selecting nonclassical shocks and we prove existence
of such solutions for initial data with bounded variation.
Approximate solutions are constructed via the wave-front tracking method and their limit are solutions of the Cauchy problem PDE-ODE.
