A Numerical Study of Multi-class Traffic Flow Models

Abstract Details

2020, Master of Mathematical Sciences, Ohio State University, Mathematical Sciences.
Traffic flow theory describes the behavior of vehicles systemically. The macroscopic traffic models consider the traffic as a continuum flow. Multi-class traffic models are a family of macroscopic models that divide the traffic platoon in different groups. Two multi-class traffic models, Wong’s model and FASTLANE model, are studied in this thesis. These two models employ different speed-density relations and methods to calculate total density of the continuum flow. Three numerical methods, including first-order Lax-Friedrichs method, second-order central-upwind method, and third-order discontinuous Galerkin method, are implemented to solve these models. The behaviors of Wong’s model and FASTLANE model under different parameter settings and numerical methods are analyzed and compared.
