In order to alleviate traffic congestions and the influence on environmental impact, developing a model to evaluate under various geometric and traffic conditions is desirable, which is the objective of this study. This study develops a novel traffic simulation model consisting of car following model and lane change model based on desired speed on freeways. Phase transitions of traffic flows are reproduced by using this simulation model.
