“…Traffic flow" can be defined as the study of the movement of individual drivers and vehicles between two points [17,18]. Vehicular flow on the other hand is the measure of vehicles per time period from a point.…”

This paper describes a ZigBee based wireless system to assists traffic flow on arterial urban roads. Real-time simulation in laboratory environment is conducted to determine the traffic throughput to avoid possible congestions or ease existing congestions. Random numbers are generated to mimic approaching traffic, and this information is shared by a ZigBeebased real-time wirelessly network. Wireless nodes are connected to different PLCs representing different traffic lights in a cluster. Once the information is shared the timing and sequencing decisions are taken collectively in a synchronized manner. In this paper, the information is displayed on SCADA connected to each PLC for viewing the characteristics of continuous vehicular flow. It is found that the topology of the network can play an important role in the throughput of data, which may be critical in safety critical operations such as the control of traffic lights. This paper aims to highlight some of the possible effects of dataflow flow and time-delays faced by modern intelligent control of traffic lights.

“…However, the limited road capacity and thus traffic congestion has become a severe problem in many countries [1]. Engineers are therefore seeking solutions to the questions of how the capacity of the road network could be used more efficiently and how operations can be improved by ways of intelligent transportation systems [2].…”

This paper first reviewed the driver or driving models used in traffic simulation that were created mainly for generating the required mobility. Some commonly used models and the stateof-the-art technologies were discussed. In order to better study the effect of human driver on the transportation system, this paper introduced several other typical driver models and the related technologies that were developed for the purposes of studies on vehicle dynamics and controls during last decades. These models not only perform the tasks in generating the required mobility with better fidelity and flexibility for traffic simulation, but also provide more insight on the physics of drivers' driving nature and characteristics. Further research was suggested in the modeling of drivers' personal driving characteristics, in particular, drivers' habitual driving styles. These can be very valuable and important in the design and study of the modern transportation systems with vehicle-driver-environment taken into consideration.
