Abstract

A traffic flow model is discussed in the framework of the Kinetic Theory of Active Particles (KTAP). Each active particle is a vehicledriver pair characterized by a discrete velocity and by a driving ability. The systemevolves through non-linear interactions which are modeled by the so-called Tables of Games. An evolution equation is derived and a theorem of existence and uniqueness of the solution for a finite time is proved. The results of numerical simulations which are consistent with the results of experimental evidence, are also shown.
