Modeling Travel Times in Dynamic Transportation Networks; A Fluid Dynamics Approach

In this paper, we take a fluid dynamics approach to determine the travel time in traversing a network's link. We propose a general model for travel time functions that utilizes fluid dynamics laws for compressible flow to capture a variety of flow patterns such as the formation and dissipation...
