Research on Traffic Flow Modeling and Simulation Based on Cellular Automaton Abstract:Intelligent transportation system(ITS) improves the situation of transportation systems by managing advanced technologies such as telecommunication, network, automatic control and traffic engineering to, thus establishing an intelligent, secure, convenient, efficient, comfortable and environmental protection transportation system. Traffic flow modeling is one of the most important parts of ITS. ITS can be categorized as microscopic modeling and macroscopic modeling. Microscopic traffic models such as cellular automaton (CA) models and hybrid traffic models arisen in recent years have optential values in application. Key word: CA Traffic flow modelling Bicycle I Introduction of Cellular Automaton The conception of cellular automaton(CA) was firstly put forward by Von Nenmann in the 1950s, it was mainly applied in modelling the function of self-duplication of biosystem. It was paid widely attention to after the confliction of life was put forward by Conway in 1970. After that, CA was applied to various field. Because a simple model type like this could duplicate complex phenomena or dynamically demonstrate phenomena of attraction, self organization and chaos conveniently.That’s the reason why CA was widely used in modeling diverse physical systems and natural phenomena, such as fluld flow, galaxy formation, snowslide, traffic flow calculation, concurrent computation , earthquake etc. Nowadays, the merits of making use of CA to modeling the physical process is that it can leave out the process using differential equations as transition, and performing nolinear physical phenomenon directly through making rules. In these practical applications, CA model uncovers macroscopic behavior naturally happened through simple microscopic partial rules. It’s an ideal physical model for studying temporal-spatial discrete, and considered the most effective implement in terms of researching com
