Abstract

We review our analytical and numerical results obtained on the microscopic Follow-The-Leader (FTL) many particle approximation of one-dimensional conservation laws. More precisely, we introduce deterministic particle schemes for the Hughes model for pedestrian movements and for two vehicular traffic models that are the scalar Lighthill–Whitham–Richards model (LWR) and the \(2\times 2\) system Aw–Rascle–Zhang model (ARZ). Their approximation is performed by a set of ODEs, determining the motion of platoons of possible fractional vehicles or pedestrians seen as particles. Convergence results of the schemes in the many particle limit are stated. The numerical simulations suggest the consistency of the schemes.
