Until now, traffic flow models have been based on individual vehicles or roads. The length of time needed for calculating models for larger areas, such as complete cities, was too great. However, Dr Victor Knoop, assistant professor of traffic flow at TU Delft, has now devised a new traffic model that is capable of calculating the traffic situation for large urban areas. He will be presenting the model on 12 January 2014 in Washington, at the Annual Meeting of the Transportation Research Board, the most important annual scientific conference on traffic.
