Abstract
We discuss the numerical treatment of boundary conditions for a non-local macroscopic model of uni-directional traffic. Furthermore, we propose a general scheme to derive non-local macroscopic models from given microscopic car-following models. Assuming identical (macroscopic) initial and boundary conditions, we show that there are microscopic models for which the corresponding macroscopic version displays a very similar dynamics. This enables us to combine micro- and macrosimulations of road sections by simple algorithms and even to simulate them simultaneously.
