Abstract: Summary This paper is an analysis of the various scales at which traffic flow can be represented, from vehicular to continuum flow models, with various time and space resolutions. The paper first investigates the question of scales and scale separation in traffic flow, both in modelling and measurement, using analogy with other disciplines. It then evaluates the representation of vehicles heterogeneities at various scales. It concludes on the interest of developing multiscale modeling.
