The tasks in traffic simulation are so wide-spread that it is necessary to work with different kinds of models. Here at the ZAIK we have three microscopic models to meet the different macroscopic questions as closely as possible.
In the beginning of our developement there was

• The CA-Model. It is very fast model based on a cellular automaton.

• The SK-Model is a refinement of the CA-Model. We implemented extended driver properties like smooth braking. These two models are used in our software PLANSIM-T.

• The Queueing-Model is specialized for the iterative calculation of dynamic user equilibria. The FASTLANE program is based on this model.

• A new approach within queueing theory aims to combine the high computational efficiency of queueing approaches with the ability of mikroscopic car-following models in order to simulate the dynamics of traffic streams on a detailed level. You can find literature about this new approach at our preprint server.
