Provides a novel modeling framework for traffic flow researchers, but the contribution is incremental as it combines existing approaches.
The paper presents a new traffic flow model that couples first-order macroscopic and second-order microscopic approaches without interfaces, using a conservative Euler-Godunov scheme that reproduces stop-and-go waves.
In this paper we present a new kind of model for traffic flow which couples a first-order macroscopic approach with a second-order microscopic approach, avoiding any interface or boundary conditions between them. The Euler-Godunov scheme associated to the model is conservative and it is able to reproduce typical traffic phenomena like stop & go waves.
