Formal asymptotic models of vehicular traffic. Model closures

Author

Summary, in English

Formal closed models for vehicular traffic flow are obtained based on the novel equilibrium solution of the Prigogine--Herman equation. To that effect, Hilbert and Chapman--Enskog asymptotic series expansions are employed, obtaining the Euler and Navier--Stokes equivalent equations for traffic flow.
