We present a car traffic simulation prototype for complex networks, that is formed by a collection of roads and junctions. Traffic load evolution is described by a model based on fluid dynamic conservation laws, deduced from conservation of the number of cars. The model contains some additional hypothesis in order to reproduce specific car traffic features such as route based car distribution at nodes and the presence of right-of-way at the crossroads. A complete implementation of this model is then presented, together with computational results on case studies.

Abstract
We present a car traffic simulation prototype for complex networks, that is formed by a collection of roads and junctions. Traffic load evolution is described by a model based on fluid dynamic conservation laws, deduced from conservation of the number of cars. The model contains some additional hypothesis in order to reproduce specific car traffic features such as route based car distribution at nodes and the presence of right-of-way at the crossroads. A complete implementation of this model is then presented, together with computational results on case studies.File in questo prodotto:
