Continuum Modelling of Freeway Traffic Flows in the Era of Connected and Automated Vehicles: A Critical Perspective and Research Needs

This paper provides a comprehensive review of continuum traffic flow models. A comprehensive review of models for conventional traffic is presented that classifies the models into various families regarding their derivation bases. Previous discussions and debates over the performance of models developed for conventional traffic are covered in detail, and wherever applicable, new insights are provided on the properties and interpretations of the existing models. A review of the recent attempts at incorporating connected and automated vehicles (CAVs) traffic flow into the continuum framework is also conducted. The paper also analyses the strengths, limitations, and properties of the existing model families for CAV traffic flow. Research gaps and the issues inherent to CAVs are highlighted, and future directions in the era of connected and automated vehicles are discussed.
