Abstract: Summary The aim of this article is to study how the obstruction caused by slow vehicles (like trucks for example) on other ones can be modelled in a two-flow macroscopic model based on the Lighthill-Whitham-Richards (LWR) theory. This will be done by using the results of moving bottleneck models which describe the effect of a single slow vehicle on the rest of the flow.
