Abstract
We consider kinetic and macroscopic traffic flow modeling. Connections between the models are presented and numerical methods and simulations are shown for different models. In particular, recent issues like traffic instabilities, multivalued fundamental diagrams and stop-and-go behaviour are discussed.
