This paper presents the fundamental principles of traffic flow modeling and proposes the computer simulation implementation methods consisting of three modules: vehicle generation, speed discrete distribution and vehicle motion. A microscopic simulation approach of freeway traffic flow based on cellular automata and the relevant technical process are established and then tested in the typical sections of the Xihai Freeway in the Jiangxi Province of China. According to the results, the proposed traffic flow simulation technique can precisely represent the complicated dynamic performances of a freeway system. This technique provides a new, efficient approach to the microscopic simulation of freeway traffic flow.
