Trffic flow models with the consistency of aclass

الملخص EN

This note discusses a recently discovered internal inconsistency of a class of higher-order traffic flow models.

It shows that this class of models are mathematically consistent, and that the supposed internal inconsistency is not part of their intrinsic property.

Rather, it is a result of insisting on the universality of a special conservation law and imposing incompatible solutions on a equations.
