Abstract
Among the urban level crossings, the crossroad is the most typical one. To grasp the property of the vehicle flow correctly is very important for improving the urban traffic management level, as well as the whole traffic condition of the city. On the base of studying the arrival law of the vehicle flow and the principle of the vehicles' moving, a computer simulation model about the traffic of the intersection was found in this paper. The simulation test on the traffic of Weigongcun intersection in Beijing proved that the model is close to the facts. A lot of useful conclusions were also gained in the test.
