Abstract: After an examination of the methodology used by the operations researcher, it becomes clear that the mathematical model is central to this methodology. It therefore becomes of interest to examine mathematical models. The latter are classified into analytic and numerical, as well as into deterministic or stochastic. Attention is then centered on the numerical stochastic model. The use of a computer in this connection is explored and the resulting model is discussed from the standpoint of operations-research methodology---all in connection with the vehicular traffic problem. Conclusions are drawn concerning the estimated usefulness of such a model in the future.
