Analysis of Traffic Flow Based on the Finite Element Method
Publication: International Conference on Transportation Engineering 2007
Abstract
Analysis of normal traffic flow usually uses the static or dynamic model based on fluid mechanics. However, in the analysis process, the problem of massive modeling and data handling exists, and the accuracy is desirable. Finite element method has been widely applied in various domains. Based on existing theory of traffic flow, ITS and the development of finite element, the paper presents a simulation method based on finite element for solving problems in traffic flow. Using existing finite element analysis software, the traffic flow is simulated and analyzed with fluid mechanics and dynamics. The problem with massive data processing through manual modeling and Numerical Analysis is solved. Finally, a typical case of special road is analyzed with ADINA finite element analysis software.
