DIFFERENT TRANSPORTATION SOFTWARES/PROGRAMS

 Grab Philippines - GrabCar, the private hire automobile booking service

available via the Grab app, is the Philippines' first and only service of its
kind to be fully accredited as a Transportation Network Company (TNC)
by the Land Transportation Franchising & Regulatory Board (LTFRB). It
also provides food and merchandise delivery to your door.

 Uber - a transportation firm with an app that allows passengers to hail a

ride and drivers to charge and get paid for their services. Uber is a
ridesharing company that employs independent contractors as drivers.

 Angkas - is a motorcycle ride-hailing platform that helps provide mobility

for Filipinos in one of the most traffic-congested countries in the world.
MICROSCOPIC MODELS IN TRANSPORTATION

Microscopic traffic models reflect the smallest details of traffic flow and the
interactions that take place within it. Microscopic traffic models are used to
represent single vehicle-driver units. The dynamic variables in the models
represent tiny details such as individual vehicle position and velocity. The two
types of models are cell automata models, which are discrete in time and
space, and continuous models, which are continuous in time. The latter are
essential for thorough examinations of car-following behavior and traffic
instability.

MACROSCOPIC MODELS IN TRANSPORTATION

Macroscopic traffic modeling assumes that a road has a large enough number
of cars to manage each stream of vehicles as a tube or stream. Three
variables are critical in macroscopic traffic modeling. The variables in question
are the rate of flow, the speed of traffic flow, and the traffic density.

MESOSCOPIC MODELS IN TRANSPORTATION

Mesoscopic traffic flow models were developed to bridge the gap between
microscopic models used to describe individual vehicle behavior and
macroscopic models used to represent traffic as a continuous flow. Traditional
mesoscopic models, such as probability distributions, characterize aggregate
vehicle traffic. Individual vehicles, on the other hand, have their own set of
rules. The family includes headway distribution models, cluster models, gas-
kinetic models, and macroscopic models derived from these. Hybrid
mesoscopic models, which combine microscopic and macroscopic models,
are a novel branch on the tree.
