On each road the Phase Transition traffic model, proposed in [6], describes the evolution of car traffic. Such model is an extension of the classic Lighthill-Whitham-Richards one, obtained by assuming that different drivers may have different maximal speed. By sending to infinity the number of cycles of the traffic lights, we obtain a justification of the Riemann solver introduced in [9] and in particular of the rule for determining the maximal speed in the outgoing road.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2017-12-20T19:16:47.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "35L65", "90B20" ], "keywords": [ "riemann solver", "homogenization limit", "junction compatible", "traffic lights", "phase transition traffic model" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 19, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
