Analysis of Traffic Evolution on Road Networks of a Roundabout

Figure 6

Density and flux profiles on the entrance and main lane of a roundabout in case 1. In case (a), shock waves are produced on roads , and rarefaction waves are created on roads S2, S4, and S6 as shown in (c) with corresponding fluxes displayed in (b) and (d), respectively.
(a) Density on the entrances road
(b) Flux on the entrances road
(c) Density between the diverging and merging main lane of the roundabout
(d) Flux between the diverging and merging main lane of the roundabout
