= Macroscopic traffic flow model
{wiki=Macroscopic_traffic_flow_model}
Macroscopic traffic flow models are used to describe and analyze the flow of traffic on a larger scale, often at the level of road networks or regions rather than individual vehicles. These models treat traffic as a continuous fluid rather than focusing on individual vehicles, and they typically use aggregate quantities such as traffic density, flow (the number of vehicles passing a point per unit time), and average velocity.
