Abstract
The Burgers equation has been considered in a phenomenological way to describe some characteristics of traffic flow. With a special model for the desired velocity of drivers, we have derived it from the Reduced Paveri-Fontana equation by means of the maximization of the informational entropy and an approximation method which introduces a relaxation time associated to the collective behaviour.
