Performance of continuum models for realworld traffic flows: Comprehensive benchmarking
该论文利用德国A5高速公路数据，对多种单管道连续交通流模型进行了综合基准测试，评估了它们在延误、行程时间及复杂交通现象（如振荡、容量下降和滞后现象）方面的表现。
Numerous continuum models have been proposed for freeway traffic, but their performance for real-world traffic flows has not been rigorously evaluated and compared in the literature. This paper conducts a comprehensive benchmarking study on single-pipe continuum models by using traffic data from the German A5 autobahn. Model families are examined, and the best representative models are selected within the families. A set of benchmarking criteria is designed, ranging from the operational measures (e.g., delay and travel time) as well as the complex traffic phenomena (i.e., oscillations, capacity drop, and hysteresis phenomena). Suitable real-world traffic scenarios are carefully selected concerning the benchmarking criteria, and the selected models are comprehensively assessed for real-world scenarios. The paper comprehensively discusses the performances of each model regarding each aspect of the benchmarking criteria.
