Solving transport-density equation with diffusion using the first integral method and the generalized hyperbolic functions method by Moner Soliby, Rfaat

“…Basically, the first integral method (FIM) and the generalized hyperbolic functions method (GHFM) are employed to solve the proposed model and to give compelling evidence that regularization of the conservation law by adding viscosity that will undeniably remove the singularity and the weak solution obtained by the characteristic method. As long as, continuity equation leads to discontinuous solutions, abrupt change of the traffic density; thus the diffusion was introduced so as to prevent incrementally deformation of the wave so that shock, rarefication and singularity will not be existed anymore. …”
