ABSTRACT
In this work, we use Finite State Machine (FSM) and Cell Transmission Model (CTM) for the analysis of a road transportation network travelled by both Internal Combustion Vehicles (ICVs) and Electric Vehicles (EVs). The application to a realistic network shows that FSM catches better than CTM the traffic volume changes when accidents occur, but paying the price of a larger computational cost. CTM, instead, averages the vehicles motion, thus somehow overlooking traffic congestions and travel time delays that would result in extra energy consumptions and EVs charging demand.
