Abstract: Abstract In this article, we describe our simulations of TomTom probe vehicle data measured in city traffic. An analysis of the vehicle trajectories in the TomTom data reveals the typical features of the traffic phases as defined in Kerner’s three-phase traffic theory: free flow, synchronized flow and wide moving jam (moving queues). The existence of the synchronized flow phase has previously been found within traffic data from highways, but not within data from urban road networks. We will show that the microscopic simulation of vehicular traffic with the stochastic Kerner-Klenov model on a multi-lane urban road stretch reproduces the synchronized flow found in the TomTom data.
