AbstractIn this paper we will discuss some aspects of the recent macroscopic models of the second-order proposed by [Aw, A., Rascle, M., 2000. Resurrection of second order models of traffic flow. SIAM Journal of Applied Mathematics 60 (3), 916–938] and [Zhang, H.M., 2002. A non-equilibrium traffic model devoid of gas-like behavior. Transportation Research Part B 36, 275–290]. These models were suggested after the publication of an article written by [Daganzo, C.F., 1995. Requiem for second-order fluid approximations of traffic flow. Transportation Research Part B 29, 277–286] showing that some classical second-order models can exhibit non-physical solutions. It is shown in this note that the ARZ (Aw–Rascle–Zhang) model respects the anisotropic character of traffic flow, that it yields physical solutions, and that vacuum problems can be solved satisfactorily, provided that the fundamental diagram (equilibrium speed–density relationship) is extended in a suitable fashion. It follows that the Riemann problem for the ARZ model with extended fundamental diagram always admits a solution, and that this solution depends continuously on the initial conditions.
