Abstract

This study considers nonlocal conservation laws in which the velocity depends nonlocally on the solution not in real time but in a time-delayed manner. Nonlocal refers to the fact that the velocity of the conservation law depends on the solution integrated over a specific area in space. In every model modelling human’s behavior a time delay as reaction/response time is crucial. We distinguish a so called nonlocal classical delay model where only the velocity of the conservation law is delayed from a more realistic nonlocal delay model where also a shift backwards in space is considered. For both models we show existence and uniqueness of the solutions and study their analytical properties. We also present a direct application in traffic flow modelling. We also show that for delay approaching zero, the solutions of the considered delayed models converge to the solutions of the non-delayed models in the proper topology. Finally, a comprehensive numerical study illustrating exemplary the impacts of delay and nonlocality are presented and compared with nonlocal models without delay, as well as the corresponding local models.
