Abstract
Starting from a basic cellular automaton model (CA) for traffic flow o n a freeway we study various modifications to its update procedure aim ing at a quantitative improvement of the fundamental diagram obtained. The investigation results in the suggestion of an improved automaton, showing qualitative and quantitative coincidence of maximum flux with values taken from real traffic measurements.
