Abstract
The aim of this work is to introduce a two-dimensional macroscopic traffic model for multiple populations of vehicles. Starting from the paper [ 21 ], where a two-dimensional model for a single class of vehicles is proposed, we extend the dynamics to a multi-class model leading to a coupled system of conservation laws in two space dimensions. Besides the study of the Riemann problems we also present a Lax-Friedrichs type discretization scheme recovering the theoretical results by means of numerical tests. We calibrate the multi-class model with real data and compare the fitted model to the real trajectories. Finally, we test the ability of the model to simulate the overtaking of vehicles.
