摘要：The present study is to model heterogeneous traffic at a congested place in Chennai using Cellular Automata (CA) and traffic simulator VISSIM. Vehicle type, its volume, density, average velocity, dimensions of study area and signal cycle length are used as input parameters for computer simulator VISSIM to find the dynamics of vehicular traffic. The output obtained substantiates that there will be decrease in delay time and increase in maximum achievable velocity when there is reduction in 2W (Two Wheeler) population. In fact, if no 2W is allowed then the delay time will be reduced to 70.70% and the maximum achievable velocity will be increased to 34.33%. Using CA rules, simulation was carried out on the traffic flows in roads of length 100 (small system) and 1000(large system). The results obtained show that small systems behave differently from long ones and the traffic reaches a maximum of 420 when the density is 0.1 for small systems and 323 when the density is 0.09 for large system.
