Pointwise intersection models for macroscopic traffic flow models

Authors: J.P. Lebacque, M.M. Khoshyaran

Abstract :

The object of the presentation is to show how to construct pointwise intersection
models for macroscopic traffic flow models. After a brief review of boundary
conditions for links, we will introduce generic intersection models and introduce
the invariance principle. Not all conceivable intersection models are admissible,
and the invariance principle rules out those models which are not admissible.
Several intersection models will be described, some satisfying the invariance
principle, others not. In the latter case the physical contradictions in the model
will be pointed out. Finally some applications will be given.
