Two-dimensional macroscopic model of traffic flows

The problem of simulating city and highway traffic flows is considered. Existing simulation techniques are reviewed in brief. A two-dimensional model of a synchronized traffic flow based on continuum approach and similar to kinetically consistent difference schemes is developed. Test problems are used to check the model.
