    "abstract": "In this paper, we focus on the different traffic flow models that exist in\nliterature. Due to our frequently encountered confusion among traffic engineers\nand policy makers, this paper goes into more detail about transportation\nplanning models on the one hand, and traffic flow models on the other hand. The\nformer deal with households that make certain decisions which lead to\ntransportation and the use of infrastructure, as opposed to the latter which\nexplicitly describe the physical propagation of traffic flows in a road\nnetwork. Our goal is not to give a full account (as that would be a\ndissertation of its own, given the broadness of the field), but rather to\nimpose upon the reader a thorough feeling for the differences between\ntransportation planning and traffic flow models. Because of the high course of\nprogress over the last decade (or even during the last five years), this paper\ntries to chronicle both past models, as well as some of the latest developments\nin this area.",
