    A simple trafic flow simulator for two-lane highways
    (University of Ibadan, Ibadan, Nigeria, 2012) Akintayo, F. O.; Agbede, O.
    The highway network is an common feature on highways in many cities of the world. Including Ibadan, Nigeria. Previous studies have shown that several mathematical traffic flow models developed to analyse congestion cannot be easily generalized or adapted to varying situation. A simple traffic flow simulator was developed in the paper to stimulate flow for different congestion seanarios by varying the minimum and maximum headways if vehicles. Comparison of simulated and field values for a heavily trafficked highway in Ibadan metropolis produced an error of 35 % at high vehicular interaction
