Abstract: We extended the Biham–Middleton–Levine model to incorporate the origin and destination effect of drivers trips on the traffic in cities. The destination sites are randomly chosen from some origin-destination distances probability distribution "ODDPD." We use three different distributions: exponential, uniform, and power-law. We found that the traffic dynamics of the model are greatly influenced by the ODDPD. Moreover, it is found that we can adjust the ODDPD to enhance the road capacity of the city and to minimize the arrival times of drivers.
