Abstract
In this paper we introduce a computation algorithm to trace car paths on road networks, whose load evolution is modeled by conservation laws. This algorithm is composed of two parts: computation of solutions to conservation equations on each road and localization of car position resulting by interactions with waves produced on roads. Some applications and examples to describe the behavior of a driver traveling in a road network are shown. Moreover, a convergence result for wave front tracking approximate solutions, with BV initial data on a single road, is established.
