Abstract Details

2007, Master of Science, University of Akron, Applied Mathematics.
A second order, viscous continuum traffic flow model developed by H.M. Zhang is studied and implemented numerically using a fourth order Runge Kutta adaptive time step algorithm. This model is applied to a two section one lane highway with an entrance ramp and an exit ramp, and to a four section highway network comprised of two one lane roads. This is the first numerical implementation of Zhang's model using boundary conditions to model the traffic interchange.
