Intersections, traffic circles, multiple intersections and access roads dedicated to public transportation have been established within the majority of towns along with priority access for specific services. To assure maximum efficiency in the movement of vehicles and reduce congestion, researchers have developed traffic control algorithms that are based on different models. This chapter shows the concepts of microscopic, macroscopic, mesoscopic and hybrid models. The principal purpose of microscopic models is to describe the individual behavior of vehicles, for which people can discern the pursuit and the lane change. Mesoscopic models are an alternative that uses an intermediate scale between the microscopic and macroscopic models. The chapter concludes with intelligent transportation systems (ITS). The deployment of ITSs calls on the modeling and simulation of networks whatever is their scale: macroscopic, mesoscopic or microscopic. It is necessary to add information, guide users and access controls to the networks.
