英文摘要：

The historical course of traffic simulation in China and abroad was briefly reviewed firstly,and some major features of the new generation traffic simulation technology since 21st century were summarized then. Afterwards,the simulation model characteristics of some prevailing traffic simulation models were comparably analyzed,and several advanced traffic simulation techniques for ITS applications were expatiated,including traffic simulation API,hardware-in-the-loop traffic simulation,software-in-the-loop traffic simulation,online traffic simulation. Finally,based on the state-of-the-practice of traffic simulation in China,some suggestions were given on fundamental simulation modeling fitting for Chinese traffic characteristics,development modes of traffic simulation system,development methodologies of online traffic simulation,etc.
