Abstract

The current study investigates the way in which the saturation flow of a traffic lane is representedthrough widely used cellular automata models. In particular, following a literature search specific cellular automata models that have been developed to simulate mainly urban traffic are selected for this study. The values of the saturation flow as these are produced via model simulations with the modification of relevant model parameters including maximum desired speed and probability are defined through appropriate statistical values.
