Samenvatting
A two-phase traffic flow model is described. One phase is traffic equilibrium: flow and speed are functions of density, and traffic acceleration is low. The second phase is characterized by constant acceleration. This model extends first-order traffic flow models and recaptures the fact that traffic acceleration is bounded. Calculation of analytical solutions of the two-phase model for dynamic traffic situations is shown, a set of calculation rules is provided, and some examples are analyzed.
