Modeling urban transportation systems with hybrid systems: an overview

Urban transportation systems are very complicated systems, which present a lot of problems on modeling. This paper gives an overview of traffic models, points out the strongpoint and shortcomings of the macro- and micro-models, analyses reasons for hybrid system modeling of urban traffic. This paper gives the reason and an overview of the hybrid system modeling of urban transportation systems.
