Traffic flow on a road network

Abstract
Starting from the classical fluidodynamic models for traffic flow, we extend the theory to general networks. The problem at junction is underdetermined and is solved by two rules: (A) Incoming traffic distributes to outgoing roads according to fixed coefficients; (B) Drivers optimize the trough flow. Existence of solutions is provided by a wave front tracking algorithm.
