A space-time nonlocal traffic flow model: relaxation representation and local limit

From MaRDI portal

Abstract: We propose and study a nonlocal conservation law modelling traffic flow in the existence of inter-vehicle communication. It is assumed that the nonlocal information travels at a finite speed and the model involves a space-time nonlocal integral of weighted traffic density. The well-posedness of the model is established under suitable conditions on the model parameters and by a suitably-defined initial condition. In a special case where the weight kernel in the nonlocal integral is an exponential function, the nonlocal model can be reformulated as a 2imes2 hyperbolic system with relaxation. With the help of this relaxation representation, we show that the Lighthill-Whitham-Richards model is recovered in the equilibrium approximation limit.
