Overview of application of traffic simulation model

Traffic simulation is a widely used method applied in the research on traffic modelling, planning and development of traffic networks and systems. From the literature study, a variety traffic simulation models were found in experiments and applications with aims to imaginary real traffic operations. The traffic simulation models can be categorised into three namely, microscopic modelling, macroscopic modelling and mesoscopic modelling. This report is aimed to overview these traffic simulation models, in term of its function, limitation and application
