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.
