We extend the Phase Transition model for traffic proposed in [8], by Colombo, Marcellini, and Rascle to the network case. More precisely, we consider the Riemann problem for such a system at a general junction with $n$ incoming and $m$ outgoing roads. We propose a Riemann solver at the junction which conserves both the number of cars and the maximal speed of each vehicle, which is a key feature of the Phase Transition model. For special junctions, we prove that the Riemann solver is well defined.

Keywords: Phase transition model, hyperbolic systems of conservation laws, continuum traffic models, Riemann problem, Riemann solver.

In the $(\rho,\eta)$ plane, the curves $\eta= \check w \rho $, $\eta= \hat w \rho $ and the curve $\eta= \frac{V_{\max}}{\psi(\rho)}\rho $ that divides the two phases are represented. The densities $\sigma_-$ and $\sigma_+$ are given by the intersections between the previous curves. Similarly in the $(\rho, \rho v)$ plane, the curves $\rho v= \check w \psi(\rho)\rho $, $\rho v= \hat w \psi(\rho)\rho $ and the densities $\sigma_-$ and $\sigma_+$ are represented
