Dynamic Analysis of Traffic State and Congestion Propagation on Bidirectional Grid Network by Shu-bin Li, Bai-bai Fu, Jian-feng Zheng

“…In this paper, an improved mesoscopic traffic flow model is proposed to capture the speed-density relationship on segments, the length of queue, the flow on links, and so forth, The self-developed dynamic traffic simulation software (DynaCHINA) is used to reproduce the traffic congestion and propagation in a bidirectional grid network for different demand levels. The simulation results show that the proposed model and method are capable of capturing the real traffic states. …”
