Multilane first-order traffic flow model with endogenous representation of lane-flow equilibrium
We develop a multilane first-order traffic flow model for freeway networks. In the model, lane-flow equilibrium curve is endogenously generated. Parsimonious representation enables parameter calibration using conventional data. Estimated parameters can reasonably explain the multilane traffic dynamics at sag.
