Abstract :
This article deals with the modelling of a road network from a macroscopic point of view. After an introduction explaining how some macroscopic road network models are established, some basic properties of the Aw & Rascle second order model are recalled. A junction model compatible with the Aw & Rascle model is then established and some examples are presented in order to illustrate the plausibility of the model.
