Abstract EN
We present an improved macro model for traffic flow based on the existing models.
The equilibrium point equation of the model is obtained.
The stop-and-go traffic phenomenon is described in phase plane and the relationship between traffic jams and system instability is clearly shown in the phase plane diagrams.
Using the improved model, some traffic phenomena on a highway with ramps are found in this paper.
The numerical simulation is carried out to investigate various nonlinear traffic phenomena with a single ramp generated by different initial densities and vehicle generation rates.
According to the actual road sections of Xi’an-Baoji highways, the situations of morning peak with several ramps are also analyzed.
All these results are consistent with real traffic, which shows that the improved model is reasonable.
