Abstract

Starting from the classical fluidodynamic models for traffic flow, we extend the theory to general networks. The problem at junction is underdetermined and is solved by two rules: (A) Incoming traffic distributes to outgoing roads according to fixed coefficients; (B) Drivers optimize the trough flow. Existence of solutions is provided by a wave front tracking algorithm.
