Abstract

Judging from the large body of researches on numerical schemes to continuum traffic flow models, there is a need for a robust and reliable solution to solve these macroscopic traffic flow models. To deal with the occurrence of negative flow variables, several ad-hoc solutions have been proposed for certain specifications of the generic high-order model. However, it turns out that the outcomes will in general not be conservative, and are not very robust. The aim of this paper is to present a numerical approach that guarantees positively conservative variables in the context of traffic flow models.
