abstract:
Starting from the classical fluidodynamic models for traffic flow, we extend the theory to general networks. The problem at junction is underdetermined and is solved by two rules:
(A) Incoming traffic distributes to outgoing roads according to fixed coefficients;
(B) Drivers optimize the trough flow.
Existence of solutions is provided by a wave front tracking algorithm.
