A mathematical macroscopic traffic flow model known as Lighthill, Whitham and Richards(LWR) model appended with a closure nonlinear velocity-density relationship yielding a quasilinearfirst order (hyperbolic) partial differential equation as an initial boundary value problem(IBVP) was considered. The traffic model IBVP by finite difference method which leads to a firstorder explicit upwind difference scheme was discretized. Computer programs for theimplementation of the numerical scheme and perform numerical experiments in order to verifysome qualitative traffic flow behaviour for various traffic parameters were developed.Key words: Numerical simulation; Traffic flow model; Nonlinear velocity; Density functionDOI: 10.3329/jbas.v34i1.5488Journal of Bangladesh Academy of Sciences, Vol.34, No.1, 15-22, 2010

An extended traffic flow model is proposed by introducing the multiple information of preceding cars. The linear stability condition of the extended model is obtained, which shows that the stability of traffic flow is improved by considering the interaction of preceding cars to the following car. Numerical simulation shows that the traffic jams are suppressed efficiently by taking into account the multiple information of the preceding cars.

A new macroscopic traffic flow model is proposed, which considers driver presumption based on driver reaction and traffic stimuli. The Payne–Whitham (PW) model characterizes the traffic flow based on a velocity constant C 0 which results in unrealistic density and velocity behavior. Conversely, the proposed model characterizes traffic behavior with velocities based on the distance headway. The performance of the proposed and PW models is evaluated over a 300 m circular road for an inactive bottleneck. The results obtained show that the traffic behavior with the proposed model is more realistic.

Traffic overflow has great negative impact on normal traffic flow. Improper time setting and offset, even more right turn input traffic flow can cause this extreme phenomenon. In order to discover the intrinsic factor and relationship between overflow and signal setting, traffic flow incoming, we build the traffic flow model. This model takes two adjacent crosses as example, and to count the remained traffic flow queue length in given time interval. The simulation results prove our model’s feasibility. Our model well helps us to understand the overflow characteristics and to find the effective solution to conquer it in the future.
