To describe the dynamics of traffic flow in the urban link accurately, the waves which generate at intersections are adopted as the influencing factors of traffic flow. Based on the urban traffic waves, a wave-oriented variable cell transmission model (WVCTM) is proposed to illustrate the urban traffic flow. In this model, the average density and length are the state variables. The cells are divided by traffic waves. The upstream cell is the influence area of the waves at the upstream intersection, the downstream cell is the influence area of the waves at the downstream intersection, and the rest is the mediate cell. Consistent with the fundamental diagram and the cell division, the traffic states of urban links are divided into six modes. The variation of modes is explained by hybrid automata. Finally, an experiment is designed to verify the feasibility of WVCTM. The data in the experiment come from the actual scene. Compared with the cell transmission model (CTM) and variable-length CTM (VCTM), WVCTM possesses the valuable performance to predict the traffic states. Likewise, it is rational that WVCTM can correctly illustrate the urban traffic flow.

This research calibrates Cell Transmission Model (CTM) for heterogeneous and non-lane disciplined traffic, as observed in Pakistan and some other developing countries by constructing a flow-density fundamental traffic flow diagram. Currently, most of the traffic simulation packages used for such heterogonous and non-lane-disciplined traffic are not calibrated for local traffic conditions and most of the traffic flow models are developed for comparatively less heterogeneous and lane-disciplined traffic. The flow-density fundamental traffic flow diagram is developed based on extensive field data collected from Karachi, Pakistan. The calibrated CTM model is validated by using actual data from another road and it was concluded that CTM is capable of modelling heterogeneous and non-lane disciplined traffic and performed very reasonably. The calibrated CTM will be a useful input for the application of traffic simulation and optimization packages such as TRANSYT, SIGMIX, DISCO, and CTMSIM.
