Summary
Traffic control is significantly contributing to lower the implications of ever increasing amount of traffic in almost all countries and thus lower the impacts of increasing number of vehicles in traffic. One of the means how to improve the traffic control is to take into the account more significantly the impact of individual human behaviour. Drivers interact with each other and this leads to the emergence of self-organization processes. Description of self-organization is important for more exact modelling of vehicles movement. To achieve this it is possible to introduce human related parameters into the traffic models. The aim of this paper is to summarize the main human depending parameters influencing the traffic flow and consider the possibility of including them into the traffic control modelling on macroscopic level.

Self-Organizing Aspects in Transportation and Their Modelling*
1. Introduction
Continuously increasing number of road transport is the reason why new and more accurate traffic models are demanded. Nowadays, traffic control usually considers the traffic flow, value that can be controlled and regulated. This attitude is sufficiently convenient for the time being and provides good results. However, the traffic flow has parameters that are not included in the traffic models and despite that can be important for the tra...See the full content of this document
