Abstract :
In this paper we consider the classic second-order macroscopic traffic model, commonly known as the PW model. Firstly, we extend it to a two-class case, in which we consider the simultaneous presence of slow and fast vehicles. Moreover, we determine some numerical constraints useful for realizing a stable simulation implementing equations somehow derived from differential partial equations.
