Guidelines
Traffic flows describe the movement of vehicles on individual roads or their networks. Traffic flows can be described on the microscopic level, where individual vehicles are traced, kinetic (mesoscopic) level, where the flow is described by a density distribution function and finally the macroscopic description, where the flow is described by quantities such as density or velocity. Mathematically, the corresponding descriptions are systems of ordinary equations, kinetic Boltzmann-type equations and partial differential equations - usually first order hyperbolic systems. However other descriptions exist, e.g. using cellular automata.

The goal of the work is to study various traffic flow models in various descriptions, devise efficient and robust numerical methods for the corresponding equations and compare the outcomes between various models, their levels of description and compare to real data on single roads and networks.
