Abstract :
In this paper a hybrid model is presented to predict the behavior of traffic in urban area. Intersections and on/off-ramps are modelled by Colored Timed Petri Nets while road links are modelled by a stochastic discrete time model. It is assumed that vehicle routings at each intersection are stochastic. The validation of the model by using real data is discussed. The limited computational effort required makes the model suitable to be used in simulation-based control schemes for urban traffic.
