Development of kinks in car-following models
Douglas A. Kurtze
Many car-following models of traffic flow admit the possibility of absolute stability, a situation in which uniform traffic flow at any spacing is linearly stable. Near the thresho…
Solitons and kinks in a general car-following model
Douglas A. Kurtze
We study a car-following model of traffic flow which assumes only that a car's acceleration depends on its own speed, the headway ahead of it, and the rate of change of headway, wi…
Corrugation of Roads
Joseph A. Both, Daniel C. Hong, Douglas A. Kurtze
We present a one dimensional model for the development of corrugations in roads subjected to compressive forces from a flux of cars. The cars are modeled as damped harmonic oscilla…
Effect of Dissipation on Density Profile of One Dimensional Gas
Douglas A. Kurtze, Daniel C. Hong
We study the effect of dissipation on the density profile of a one dimensional gas that is subject to gravity. The gas is in thermal equilibrium at temperature T with a heat reserv…
