The Analysis of Research Status on Traffic Cellular Automata Model

Study of traffic flow theory is to build traffic flow model to describe the general characteristics of the real traffic and reveal the basic rule of traffic flow.Driven by the nonlinear science and complexity science,cellular automata model become a new mechanical model of the traffic flow to study traffic flow.This paper simply described the emergence and development of traffic cellular automata model,summarized and reviewed the using in road transport,urban road network and rail transport in several classic cellular automaton traffic flow model respectively,and the future possible trends in the prospect.
