Simulation of kinetic traffic flow with disturbance

A new model is established for kinetic road traffic flow with disturbance function. It is used to solve the multi-lane, open kinetic road traffic flow simulation problem. The Level of road Service (LOS) is used as the evaluation criteria. It is able to describe the behavior of the changes of the road flows, speeds, occupation ratios and other disturbance factors for the global road traffic flows. The simulation results show that the new model is more efficient and able to get better solutions than the kinetic system approach without disturbance. The proposed model can improve the usefulness of the transportation system simulation.
