Popis: In this paper, we present an extension of the Generic Second Order Models (GSOM) for traffic flow on road networks. We define a Riemann solver at the junction based on a priority rule and provide an iterative algorithm to construct solutions at junctions with n incoming and m outgoing roads. The logic underlying our solver is as follows: the flow is maximized while respecting the priority rule, which can be adjusted if the supply of an outgoing road exceeds the demand of a higher-priority incoming road. Approximate solutions for Cauchy problems are constructed using wave-front tracking. We establish bounds on the total variation of waves interacting with the junction and present explicit calculations for junctions with two incoming and two outgoing roads. A key novelty of this work is the detailed analysis of returning waves - waves generated at the junction that return to the junction after interacting along the roads - which, in contrast to first-order models such as LWR, can increase flux variation.
