Abstract: | In this paper, we study the continuum modeling of traffic dynamics for two-lane freeways. A new dynamics model is proposed,
which contains the speed gradient-based momentum equations derived from a car-following theory suited to two-lane traffic
flow. The conditions for securing the linear stability of the new model are presented. Numerical tests are carried out and
some nonequilibrium phenomena are observed, such as small disturbance instability, stop-and-go waves, local clusters and phase
transition.
