Abstract

We describe the simulation of traffic flows on networks. On individual roads we use standard macroscopic traffic models.

The discontinuous Galerkin method in space and a multistep method in time is used for the numerical solution. We introduce limiters to keep the density in an admissible interval as well as prevent spurious oscillations in the numerical solution.

To simulate traffic on networks, one should construct suitable numerical fluxes at junctions.
