Traffic Modelling Using Parabolic Differential EquationsYung, Tamara January 2013 (has links)
The need of a working infrastructure in a city also requires an understanding of how the traffic flows. It is known that increasing number of drivers prolong the travel time and has an environmental effect in larger cities. It also makes it more difficult for commuters and delivery firms to estimate their travel time. To estimate the traffic flow the traffic department can arrange cameras along popular roads and redirect the traffic, but this is a costly method and difficult to implement. Another approach is to apply theories from physics wave theory and mathematics to model the traffic flow; in this way it is less costly and possible to predict the traffic flow as well. This report studies the application of wave theory and expresses the traffic flow as a modified linear differential equation. First is an analytical solution derived to find a feasible solution. Then a numerical approach is done with Taylor expansions and Crank-Nicolson’s method. All is performed in Matlab and compared against measured values of speed and flow retrieved from Swedish traffic department over a 24 hours traffic day. The analysis is performed on a highway stretch outside Stockholm with no entries, exits or curves. By dividing the interval of the highway into shorter equal distances the modified linear traffic model is expressed in a system of equations. The comparison between actual values and calculated values of the traffic density is done with a nominal average difference. The results reveal that the numbers of intervals don’t improve the average difference. As for the small constant that is applied to make the linear model stable is higher than initially considered.

Using ClassPad-technology in the education of students of electrical engineering (Fourier- and Laplace-Transformation)Paditz, Ludwig 09 May 2012 (has links) (PDF)
By the help of several examples the interactive work with the ClassPad330 is considered. The student can solve difficult exercises of practical applications step by step using the symbolic calculation and the graphic possibilities of the calculator. Sometimes several fields
of mathematics are combined to solve a problem. Let us consider the ClassPad330 (with the actual operating system OS 03.03) and discuss on some new exercises in analysis, e.g. solving a linear differential equation by the help of the Laplace transformation and using the inverse Laplace transformation or considering the Fourier transformation in discrete time (the Fast Fourier Transformation FFT and the inverse FFT). We use the FFT- and IFFT-function to study periodic signals, if we only have a sequence generated by sampling the time signal. We know several ways to get a solution. The techniques for studying practical applications fall into the following three categories: analytic, graphic and numeric. We can use the
Classpad software in the handheld or in the PC (ClassPad emulator version of the handheld).
