Summary: We present an extended discussion of a macroscopic traffic flow model [18] which includes non-local and relaxation terms for vehicular traffic flow on unidirectional roads. The braking and acceleration forces are based on a behavioural model and on free flow dynamics. The latter are modelled by using different fundamental diagrams. Numerical investigations for different situations illustrate the properties of the mathematical model. In particular, the emergence of stop-and-go waves is observed for suitable parameter ranges.
