We construct a model of traffic flow with sources and destinations on a roads network. The model is based on a conservation law for the density of traffic and on semilinear equations for traffic-type functions, i.e. functions describing paths for cars. ¶ We propose a definition of solution at junctions, which depends on the traffic-type functions. Finally we prove, for every positive time T, existence of entropic solutions on the whole network for perturbations of constant initial data. ¶ Our method is based on the wave-front tracking approach.
