This article presents a simple but comprehensive approach for reproducing road traffic on an infrastructure. The LWR model makes it possible to choose the scale of representation according to the desired application, as well as the mode of resolution: analytical approach or use of simulation. This final section reviews the main concepts presented and offers a brief discussion of the operational applications of the LWR model and, more generally, of dynamic traffic modeling.

5.1 Back to the LWR model

We have chosen to present only the LWR model. It has the advantage of offering several modeling scales, depending on the numerical resolution chosen and, above all, on the intended application. Whatever the scale of representation chosen, computation times for this...
