SimpleMotorwayCTMSIM

This is a simple motorway simulator developed in MATLAB (mainly prepared for students with little experience on computer coding) with an on-ramp based upon cell transmission model (CTM). The CTM computation is implemented mainly based on work by Kurzhanskiy and Varaiya (2008).
