Reproduction of spatio-temporal structures of traffic flows using various ways of averaging data

The work is devoted to testing of the two-dimensional microscopic cellular automatabased traffic flow model created by the authors using test problems found in literature, as well as comparing the obtained spatio-temporal diagrams of traffic flow speeds with experimental data. Optimal methods of averaging data for a more adequate reflection of the results are investigated.
The presented results confirm that the proposed CA model adequately reproduces the patterns observed on the velocity diagrams of real traffic flows, and also provides greater similarity with experimental data in comparison with other presented models.
