Abstract:In this paper, the traffic flow problem is converted into a system stability problem through variable substitution and a phase plane analysis method is presented for analyzing the complex nonlinear traffic phenomena. This method matches traffic congestion with the unstable system. So these theories and methods of stability can be applied directly to solve the traffic problem. Based on an anisotropic continuum model developed by Gupta and Katiyar(GK model), this paper uses this new method to describe various no… Show more
