A Cell Automation Traffic Flow Model for Mixed Traffic

Abstract

Based on the existing research on cellular automata traffic flow model, this paper proposed an improved model for mixed traffic flow in real-time traffic data environment in China. Driver's characteristic is defined according to the NS model and the FI model. In accordance with the mixed traffic flow, a cellular automaton traffic model is proposed. In this model, vehicles are defined in different lengths and different maximum speed, and mixed on single lane and bi-lane with periodic boundary condition. The traffic flow characteristics are analyzed and discussed by computer numerical simulation.
