Abstract
Modelling of heterogeneous traffic including non-motorised modalities is a topic of increased interest, as ‘greening’ becomes an integral part of transportation science. The variation of form among these heterogeneous flows means that models developed to represent them are just as diverse. The particular case of interest here is that of lane-sharing between bicycles and motorised vehicles, with positional discipline. A cellular automata-based model is developed and applied for the study of this kind of mixed traffic.

Our model assumes left-hand side driving, that in effect in Ireland, UK etc., without loss of generality.
