Abstract

A continuum model for freeway traffic flow is described which includes relaxation of the equilibrium speed of the static speed-density relation and anticipation of traffic conditions downstream. Stability analysis shows that in light traffic the equilibrium solution given by the Fundamental Diagram is stable, while in dense traffic, jams with stop-start waves occur.
