Abstract

We develop our algorithms in the frame of the kinetic VTF model suggested in [5]. A distinctive feature of this model consists in introducing of the acceleration variable into the set of the phase coordinates along with the velocity coordinate of the car. Such a modification of the phase space allowed to describe not only a partly constrained traffic but also a higher car density regimes.
