  • Abstract
    A new multi-scale modeling of traffic flow is proposed by combining micro-model with meso-model based upon the multi-scale model of complex system theory and the theory of cellular automata. This method can overcome some problems in the existing models. Numerical simulation results demonstrate that the proposed model can mimic traffic flow data, such as congestion, evacuation of congestion, stop-and-go phenomena and phantom jam.
