We consider the Lighthill-Whitham-Richards traffic flow model on a network composed by an arbitrary number of incoming and outgoing arcs connected together by a node with a buffer. Similar to [15], we define the solution to the Riemann problem at the node and we prove existence and well posedness of solutions to the Cauchy problem, by using the wave-front tracking technique and the generalized tangent vectors.
Keywords: traffic flow at junctions, wave-front tracking., Scalar conservation laws, macroscopic models.
