Characteristic Parameters of a Wide Cluster in a Higher-Order Traffic Flow
Peng Zhang
Abstract: Nonlinear weak solution theory is applied to determine the parameters of a wide cluster in an ‘anisotropic’ higher-order traffic flow model. These parameters are the maximal and minimal densities and the traveling wave speed in the solution structure. Numerical experiments show that the convergent simulation results are in good agreement with those that are obtained from the analytical expressions.
