Abstract

We introduce microscopic and macroscopic stochastic traffic models including traffic accidents. The microscopic model is based on a Follow-the-Leader approach whereas the macroscopic model is described by a scalar conservation law with space dependent flux function. Accidents are introduced as interruptions of a deterministic evolution and are directly linked to the traffic situation. Based on a Lax-Friedrichs discretization convergence of the microscopic model to the macroscopic model is shown. Numerical simulations are presented to compare the above models and show their convergence behaviour.
