Abstract

This paper presents an approach for the macroscopic modelling of traffic flow on large-scale motorway networks. First the utilised traffic flow model is presented, along with the additional concept of store-and-forward links. Then we describe the modelling of the large-scale motorway network around Amsterdam. The model validation, procedure and results based on real traffic measurements from the Amsterdam network are presented.
