This report investigates a stabilization method for the Lighthill-Whitham-Richards (LWR) model which utilizes the continuity equation to model the behavior of traffic. The LWR equations are combined with the Greenshield’s model for velocity resulting in a first order nonlinear PDE. It is known that the usual unstabilized finite element method (FEM) contains spurious oscillations for non-smooth solutions for this nonlinear PDE. Herein, Vreman stabilization, that involves filtering and deconvolution, is implemented for treatment of the shocks and the affects of higher order deconvolution are investigated.

摘要

This report investigates a stabilization method for the Lighthill-Whitham-Richards (LWR) model which utilizes the continuity equation to model the behavior of traffic. The LWR equations are combined with the Greenshield’s model for velocity resulting in a first order nonlinear PDE. It is known that the usual unstabilized finite element method (FEM) contains spurious oscillations for non-smooth solutions for this nonlinear PDE. Herein, Vreman stabilization, that involves filtering and deconvolution, is implemented for treatment of the shocks and the affects of higher order deconvolution are investigated.
