Double randomization method for estimating the moments of solution to vehicular traffic problems with random parameters

摘要

In this paper we consider a Boltzmann type equation arising in the kinetic vehicle traffic flow model with an acceleration variable. The latter model is improved within the framework of the previously developed approach by introducing a set of random parameters. This enables us to take into account different types of interacting vehicles, as well as various parameters describing skills and behavior of particular drivers. We develop new Monte Carlo algorithms to evaluate probabilistic moments of linear titnctionals of the solution to the considered equation.
