DESCRIPTION:Prof. Ludovic LECLERCQ\, ENTPE (LYON)\nThe aim of this present
 ation is to propose a new event-based mesoscopic model\, fully consistent 
 at a macroscopic scale with the LWR model. This model is parsimonious\, ha
 s a low computational cost while keeping an individual tracking of vehicle
 s. It is ready for dynamic trafficassignment applications. It can also be 
 easily combined with any microscopic models to propose a bi-level traffic 
 flow representation on networks. This model overhauls the link traffic flo
 w model early proposed by Mahut (2003) by integrating heterogeneous vehicl
 e characteristics and moving bottlenecks treatment. It also introduces a s
 imple node model that (i) generalizes the supply allocation scheme at merg
 es proposed by Daganzo\, (ii) naturally respects the FIFO rules at diverge
 s and (iii) accounts for traffic signals timing. This model reproduces at 
 an individual scale the global behavior reproduced by classical macroscopi
 c node models and notably merge ratios
