In this paper, we consider the effects of human behavior and individual variation on traffic phenomena. We explore several models, and choose to use the Intelligent Driver Model to simulate one- and two-lane traffic. Our simulation is done initially in a one-lane, one-car scenario and then expanded to a multi-car, one-lane scenario. We then develop a two-lane model that allows for lane-changing, and run it on discrete time intervals for short periods of time. We plan to automate the iteration of our two-lane model in the future. All of our calculations are done using Mathematica to execute the models.
