Non-equilibrium hyperbolic traffic models can be derived as continuum approximations of car-following models and in many cases the resulting continuum models are non-conservative. This leads to numerical difficulties, which seem to have discouraged further development of complex behavioral continuum models, which is a significant research need. In this paper, we develop a robust numerical scheme that solves hyperbolic traffic flow models based on their non-conservative form. We develop a fifth-order alternative weighted essentially non-oscillatory (A-WENO) finite-difference scheme based on the path-conservative central-upwind (PCCU) method for several non-equilibrium traffic flow models. In order to treat the non-conservative product terms, we use a path-conservative technique. To this end, we first apply the recently proposed second-order finite-volume PCCU scheme to the traffic flow models, and then extend this scheme to the fifth-order of accuracy via the finite-difference A-WENO framework. The designed schemes are applied to three different traffic flow models and tested on a number of challenging numerical examples. Both schemes produce quite accurate results though the resolution achieved by the fifth-order A-WENO scheme is higher. The proposed scheme in this paper sets the stage for developing more robust and complex continuum traffic flow models with respect to human psychological factors.
