The lattice hydrodynamic model is not only a simplified version of the macroscopic hydrodynamic model, but also connected with the microscopic car following model closely. The modified Korteweg–de Vries (mKdV) equation related to the density wave in a congested traffic region has been derived...

A modified lattice hydrodynamic model of traffic flow is proposed by introducing the density difference between the leading and the following lattice. The stability condition of the modified model is obtained through the linear stability analysis. The results show that considering the density...

The novel lattice hydrodynamic model is presented by incorporating the “backward looking” effect. The stability condition for the the model is obtained using the linear stability theory. The result shows that considering one following site in vehicle motion leads to the stabilization of the...

A new lattice hydrodynamic model for two-lane traffic system is proposed with consideration of drivers’ timid or aggressive characteristics. The effect of drivers’ timid or aggressive characteristics on the stability of traffic flow is studied via linear analysis theory and nonlinear...

Considered the effect of traffic anticipation in the real world, a new anticipation driving car following model (AD-CF) was proposed by Zheng et al. Based on AD-CF model, adopted an asymptotic approximation between the headway and density, a new continuum model is presented in this paper. The...

The two-dimensional lattice hydrodynamic model of traffic is extended to the two-dimensional bidirectional pedestrian flow via taking four types of pedestrians into account. The stability condition and the mKdV equation to describe the density wave of pedestrian congestion are obtained by linear...

Solutions of a boundary value problem for the Korteweg–de Vries equation are approximated numerically using a finite-difference method, and a collocation method based on Chebyshev polynomials. The performance of the two methods is compared using exact solutions that are exponentially small at...

Numerical simulations show that higher order KdV equation under certain conditions has a self-focusing singularity, which means that the solution of the equation blows up in finite time. In this paper, two numerical schemes: the split-step Fourier transform and the pseudospectral methods are...

The variable-coefficient Korteweg-de Vries equation that governs the dynamics of weakly nonlinear long waves in a periodically variable dispersion management media is considered. For general bit patterns, an analytic expression describing the evolution of the timing shift produced by nonlinear...

The constraint equation which must hold for the reciprocal of a known solution for the Korteweg–de Vries (KdV) equation to be a solution itself is derived. These reciprocal solutions are required to satisfy a differential equation which is in fact a Painlevé equation. A differential...
