Conservation laws with local flux constraints arising in traffic flow modeling*

Specific traffic flow conditions, such as the presence of toll gates, construction sites or moving bottlenecks caused by slow moving vehicles, can be realistically modeled by conservation laws with local unilateral constraints on the flux. We give an overview of the rel...

Description
Summary:Specific traffic flow conditions, such as the presence of toll gates, construction sites or moving bottlenecks caused by slow moving vehicles, can be realistically modeled by conservation laws with local unilateral constraints on the flux. We give an overview of the related analytical and numerical results.
