This paper outlines the fundamental principles of traffic flow modeling and proposes the computer simulation implementation methods of three modules: vehicle generation, speed discrete distribution, and vehicle motion. Based on that, a microscopic simulation approach of freeway traffic flow based on cellular automata and the relevant technical process are established and then tested in the typical sections of Xihai Freeway in Jiangxi Province of China. According to the results, the traffic flow simulation technique based on cellular automata can precisely represent the complicated dynamic performances of a freeway system, and this technique provides a new efficient approach to the microscopic simulation of freeway traffic flow.
