A conditionally linearly stable second-order traffic model derived from a Vlasov kinetic description (Q554139)

Starting from a nonlinear Vlasov type equation, the authors obtain a new second-order traffic model with hyperbolic homogeneous part. The conditionally linear stability depends on the class of source terms and the nonlinear instability on the dense traffic regions. The numerical modelling with experimentation confirms the analysis and completes this research work together with significant references.
