  • multiscale traffic flow model based on the mesoscopic Lighthill whitham and richards models
    Transportation Research Record, 2015
    Co-Authors: Mahtab Joueiai, Ludovic Leclercq, Hans Van Lint, S P Hoogendoorn
    Abstract:

    This article reviews the multiscale modeling concept as an adaptive strategy in traffic flow modeling. The central objective for the multiscale model is to describe and to predict traffic phenomena (e.g., individual accelerations, queuing) that occur at different scales by switching between modeling paradigms. The emphasis in this paper is placed on resolving inconsistencies that arise in the process of integrating models, which are addressed with the mesoscopic Lighthill–Whitham and Richards models—together, widely known as the Lighthill–Whitham–Richards (LWR) model—as the coarse-scale model in the framework. The mesoscopic model is fully consistent at the macroscopic scale with the classic LWR model but does facilitate tracking of individual vehicles. Because of this characteristic, this model can be combined with microscopic models, because no disaggregation or aggregation process is needed. It is thus implied, for example, that travel information (e.g., destination) can be carried over this model with...

  • meso Lighthill whitham and richards model designed for network applications
    Transportation Research Board 91st Annual MeetingTransportation Research Board, 2012
    Co-Authors: Ludovic Leclercq, Cecile Becarie
    Abstract:

    The aim of this paper is to propose a new event-based mesoscopic model, fully consistent at a macroscopic scale with the LWR model. This model is parsimonious, has a low computational cost while keeping an individual tracking of vehicles. It is ready for dynamic traffic assignment applications. It can also be easily hybrided with any microscopic models to propose a bi-level traffic flow representation on networks. This model revisits the link traffic flow model early proposed by Mahut (2003) by integrating heterogeneous vehicle characteristics and moving bottlenecks treatment. It also introduces a simple node model that (i) generalizes the supply allocation scheme at merges proposed by Daganzo (ii) naturally respects the FIFO rules at diverges and (iii) accounts for traffic signals timing. This model adapts to a vehicular description the global behavior reproduced by classical macroscopic nodes models and notably merge ratios.

  • moving bottlenecks in Lighthill whitham richards model a unified theory
    Transportation Research Record, 2004
    Co-Authors: Ludovic Leclercq, Stephane Chanut, J B Lesort
    Abstract:

    A unified general framework for the moving-bottleneck models based on the Lighthill-Whitham-Richards theory is proposed. It is shown that all existing models may be considered as particular cases of the general model, differing only by the phenomenology involved, that is, by the shape of the flow-density relationship used for the restricted section. Possible generalization of the model through various flow-density relationships is discussed, as well as the possibilities of experimental validation.
