Abstract

In this paper, we mainly study the stability of Riemann problem for the improved Aw–Rascle–Zhang model which describes the formation and dynamics of traffic jams. First of all, we construct the classical Riemann solutions by elementary waves with the method of characteristic analysis. With the generalized Rankine–Hugoniot and entropy conditions, we prove the existence and uniqueness of δ-shock wave for arbitrary convex F(u) in this model. Then through a small perturbation, we analyze the wave interactions of different kinds of waves. As a result, we get the stability for the Riemann problem by letting the perturbed parameter ε→0.
