Dieudonne, UMR CNRS No 6621 Universite de Nice-Sophia Antipolis Parc Valrose, 06108 Nice Cedex 2, France (Communicated by Aim Sciences) Abstract. We consider coupling conditions for the “Aw–Rascle” (AR) traffic flow model at an arbitrary road intersection. In contrast with coupling condi- tions previously introduced in [10] and [7], all the moments of the AR system are conserved and the total flux at the junction is maximized. This nonlinear optimization problem is solved completely. We show how the two simple cases of merging and diverging junctions can be extended to more complex junctions, like roundabouts. Finally, we present some numerical results. 1. Introduction. Traffic flow models have been under investigation for a long time. We are particularly interested in macroscopic traffic flow models based on hyperbolic conservation laws. Models of this type have been considered for example in [14, 6, 15, 2, 1, 8]. In the following, we focus on the “Aw–Rascle” (AR) model. This (class of) “second–order” model(s) consists of a nonlinear, coupled system of conservation laws, introduced in [2] and independently in [16].
