We present two frameworks for the description of traffic, both consisting in the coupling of systems of different types. First, we consider the Free--Congested model [7,11], where a scalar conservation law is coupled with a $2\times2$ system. Then, we present the coupling of a micro- and a macroscopic models, the former consisting in a system of ordinary differential equations and the latter in the usual LWR conservation law, see [10]. A comparison between the two different frameworks is also provided.
Keywords: macroscopic traffic models, microscopic traffic models., Traffic models, hyperbolic systems of conservation laws, ordinary differential equations.
