We introduce a second order model for traffic flow with moving bottlenecks. The model consists of the × 2$ Aw-Rascle-Zhang system with a point-wise flow constraint whose trajectory is governed by an ordinary differential equation. We define two Riemann solvers, characterize the corresponding invariant domains and propose numerical strategies, which are effective in capturing the non-classical shocks due to the constraint activation.

Keywords: Traffic flow models, moving bottlenecks, unilateral flux constraints, Riemann solvers, finite volume schemes.

Geometrically, the condition (10) in Theorem 4.2 states that the first Lax curves passing through the points of intersection between the constraint line and the second Lax curves $v=v_2$ and $v=v_1$ respectively, are both above the first Lax curve $w=w_2$. A similar interpretation applies to condition (12) in Theorem 4.3

The same is for $(\rho^*, v^*)$ and $(\check{\rho}_1, \check{v}_1)$ if $h_\alpha(v_2)<w_2$ (case (b)).
