Abstract

The mathematical modeling of the traffic flow from a crossroads can be approached using fluid mechanics. In this paper, a problem with initial values for the flow traffic is solved analytically and numerically. The aim of this paper is to simulate the traffic inside a roundabout, seen as an intersection of 4 T-roads.
