  Abstract
  This work targets modeling traffic flow in roads of a congested city. The Cellular Automata (CA) have been configured for such modeling. The urban traffic models reported so far [2], in general, concentrate on low traffic density. The inabilities of traditional models to address the issues arise out of heavy traffic in crowded cities of third world countries are properly addressed in the proposed elementary CA based model. The effectiveness of the proposed model, is verified considering traffic in Kolkata. It is established that the model can fairly reproduce various traffic condition as found empirically. Further, it can be succeeded the limitations of the traffic flow models congestion and reproduces the empirical results shown for a congested network.
