A General Phase Transition Model for Traffic Flow on Networks

A general class of macroscopic traffic flow models describing traffic dynamics on transportation networks is presented, with emphasis on the formulation of the junction problem. The type of admissible waves generated at junctions under the formulation proposed and their impact on vehicle energy consumption are described.
