A deterministic simulation model for the calculationof sojourn time statistics is proposed. The model is designed forurban cells taking into account city movement in street pattern,traffic lights, and crossings. Sojourn time and remaining sojourntime are assumed to be random variables that follow a gammadistribution. The parameters of gamma are found for a range ofthe chosen cell parameters (road length, probability of stoppingat a crossing and cell radius) using Monte Carlo simulation.Then, the values are fitted to the empirical model using geneticalgorithms with grammatical evolution. The model can be usedto calculate sojourn time statistical parameters for any urbancircular cell with square street pattern
