The Riemann Solver for Traffic Flow at an Intersection with Buffer of Vanishing Size (1512.03269v1)

Abstract: The paper examines the model of traffic flow at an intersection introduced in [2], containing a buffer with limited size. As the size of the buffer approach zero, it is proved that the solution of the Riemann problem with buffer converges to a self-similar solution described by a specific Limit Riemann Solver (LRS). Remarkably, this new Riemann Solver depends Lipschitz continuously on all parameters.
