Abstract
In this paper, we propose a traffic network flow model particularly suitable for qualitative analysis as a dynamical system. Flows at a junction are determined by downstream supply of capacity (lack of congestion) as well as upstream demand of traffic wishing to flow through the junction. This approach is rooted in the celebrated Cell Transmission Model for freeway traffic flow, and we analyze resulting equilibrium flows and convergence properties.
