Extending the Link Transmission Model with general concave fundamental diagrams and capacity drops

Extending the Link Transmission Model with non-triangular fundamental diagrams and capacity drops

The original Link Transmission Model as formulated by Yperman et al. (2006) simulates traffic according to Lighthill-Whitham-Richards theory with a very small numerical error, yet only supports triangular fundamental diagrams. This paper relaxes that restriction in two steps. Firstly, we extend the model to handle any continuous concave...
