Nowadays, the development of tools for modeling and simulating road traffic flow becomes more and more a necessity. This is reflected by the development of many road traffic flow models that can reproduce some traffic phenomena. The objective of this paper is to present a hybrid model based on two models developed independently. The hybrid scheme is based on the coupling scheme developed by Bourrel. Coupled models are the macroscopic LWR model (based on its resolution by GODUNOV’s method) and a microscopic car following model presented in this paper. The proposed model is validated by simulation.
