The study of impacts of down-up hill road segment on the density threshold.of traffic shock formation in ring road vehicular flow is helpful to the deep understanding.of sags’ bottleneck effect. Sags are freeway segments along which the gradient.increases gradually in the traffic direction. The main aim of this paper is to seek the.density threshold of shock formation of vehicular flow in ring road with down-up hill.segment, because down-up hill roadway segment is a source to cause capacity reduction.that is an attractive topic in vehicular traffic science. To seek the density threshold.numerically, a viscoelastic continuum model [1] is extended and used. To solve the.model equations, a fifth-order weighted essentially non-oscillatory scheme for spatial.discretization, and a 3rd order Runge-Kutta scheme for time partial derivative term.are used. Validation by existing observation data and the Navier-Stokes like model [2].extended as EZM is done before conducting extensive numerical simulations. For ring.road vehicular flow with three separated down-up hill segments, it is found that the.density threshold of shock formation decreases monotonically with the relative difference.of free flow speed, this variation can be simply fitted by a third order polynomial.
