Abstract

We establish global well-posedness and asymptotic behavior of BV solutions to a system of balance laws modeling traffic flow with nonconcave fundamental diagram. We prove the results by finding a convex entropy-entropy flux pair and verifying the Kawashima condition, the subcharacteristic condition, and the partial dissipative inequality in the framework of Dafermos. This problem is of specific interest since nonconcave fundamental diagrams arise naturally in traffic flow.
