Abstract

Heterogeneous traffic as observed in several south Asian countries is characterized by complex interactions of widely varying vehicle types that do not follow lanes and with smaller vehicles filling any gaps available. This paper discusses on four main components of macroscopic simulation of traffic flow in the Indian traffic context. One of the prime component, namely the traffic flow model, is discussed in detail with respect to the continuum modelling approach.
