SECOND-ORDER FLUID DYNAMICS MODELS FOR TRAVEL TIMES IN DYNAMIC TRANSPORTATION NETWORKS

This paper describes the use of macroscopic models for determining analytical estimations of travel times. Two second-order non-separable macroscopic models are proposed: the Polynomial Travel Time (PTT ) Model and the Exponential Travel Time (ETT) Model. These models incorporate second-order effects such as the reaction of drivers to upstream and downstream congestion as well as second-order link interaction effects.
