Based on the multi-agent approach and the swarm platforma macroscopic simulation of urban transportation system is developed. In the simulationtravelers are divided into three groups firstand then linksintersections and travelers are treated as agents respectively. Three different experimentsnamely traveling scalestraveler groups and network structure experimentsare carried out by the simulation. Through comparing and analyzing the simulation results from the perspectives of system scale and structurewe try to find and explain the macroscopic phenomena and the possible emergence phenomena coming from the microscopic level in urban transportation system.
