Abstract

We obtain a mathematical model which governs the traffic flow of material objects in a net to generalize several previous models like air traffic (Sridhar, Menon (2005) Comparison of linear dynamic models for air traffic flow management. IFAC, Prague; Sun, Strub, Bayen (2007) Netw Heterog Media 2(4):569–594). We analyze the existence and uniqueness of solutions for some particular case.
