Abstract

A new model for highway traffic networks based on a detailed description of the junctions is presented. To obtain suitable conditions at the junctions, multilane equations are introduced and investigated. The new model is compared with currently known models for traffic flow networks for several situations. Finally, the model is used for network simulation and optimization.
