A Multi-Population Traffic Flow Model on Networks Accounting for Vehicle Automation

Explore a conference talk on a multi-population traffic flow model for networks that incorporates vehicle automation. Delve into the macroscopic approach presented by Paola Goatin from INRIA Sophia Antipolis-Méditerranée, which accounts for drivers using navigation devices to minimize travel time. Learn about the strategic choices of different driver populations based on their level of information, from those who only know the network structure to those aware of current traffic distribution. Discover how route choices are computed using Eikonal equations and their impact at road junctions. Gain insights into the model's effects on traffic flow efficiency through numerical experiments. The talk covers topics such as user equilibrium, routing applications, classical LWR model, Riemann problem, and solution examples.
