This paper uses a discrete rate approach to modeling in ExtendSim simulation software for urban transport corridor simulation. Such mesoscopic traffic flow models should be understood as models where traffic flow is described in a high level of detail, but at the same time flow behavior is presented at a low level of description. Since the discrete rate approach is typically not used in the transport area, this paper presents the main techniques of model implementation using a discrete rate approach and the application of this approach for urban transport corridor simulation. The author concludes that development time of the mesoscopic model is approximately 5 times less than adevelopment of the same microscopic model.
