Abstract
Résumé

This article deals with a review and critical analysis of first order hydrodynamic models of vehicular traffic flow obtained by the closure of the mass conservation equation. The closure is obtained by phenomenological models suitable to relate the local mean velocity to local density profiles. Various models are described and critically analyzed in the deterministic and stochastic case. The analysis is developed in view of applications of the models to traffic flow simulations for networks of roads. Some research perspectives are derived from the above analysis and proposed in the last part of the paper.

Ce article propose une revue et une analyse critique des modèles hydrodynamiques du trafic routier obtenus par fermeture de l'équation de conservation de la masse. La fermeture est obtenue à partir de modèles phénoménologiques reliant les profils des densités locales à la vitesse moyenne locale. Différents modèles sont décrits et discutés aussi bien dans le cas déterministe que stochastique. L'analyse est développée en vue d'applications aux simulations des modèles de trafic pour les réseaux routiers. Des perspectives de recherche, basées sur notre analyse, sont proposées dans la dernière partie de ce travail.
