What If Bridge Traffic Were a Fluid? Hydrodynamic Modeling of a Road Using the Finite Difference Method
Abstract
to its simplicity and accuracy. In this study, the method is adapted to capture the dynamic behavior of vehicles, providing a detailed representation of density and speed variations over time and along the road length. The results were satisfactory, with crossing times close to those observed in official data, and the suggested modifications improving the road flow
