INVESTIGATION OF TRAFFIC FLOW DYNAMIC PROCESSES USING DISCRETE MODEL

Modelling the process of traffic flow was previously studied from different points of view and different mathematical methods where used to describe the same process. All authors have an agreement on basic traffic flow parameters like, traffic flow density, traffic flow rate or the average speed of traffic flow. Besides, a lot of different investigations into the use of traffic flow models to deal with various problems of engineering are carried out. A comparison of different continuum models has drawn that a number of scientific works were based on fluid dynamic theory and gas- kinetic traffic flow theory. The kinetic traffic flow theory is used in ‘microscopic ’ or “macroscopic”, traffic flow models.
