Abstract: In this paper, a speed gradient viscous continuum model is proposed with the consideration of coupling effect for two-lane freeways. Both the speed gradient viscous term and the lane changing term are introduced into the continuity equations. The numerical simulation is carried out to investigate the shock, rarefaction waves, local clusters and changing behaviors. The results show that speed gradient viscous continuum model can describe some particular traffic behaviors in two-lane traffic system.
