In this paper, the model is simplified by proposing a decomposed queuing theory to multilane-multiple intersection. The concept of queuing theory looks promising due to its simplicity and its combination with standard approach techniques. This can expand the model to be more reliable in dealing with problem associated to multilane-multiple intersections. The proposed model is simple, flexible and fit to any real case study with different structure of topology. The traffic model is developed using discrete-event simulation (DES) framework for computation and analysis the model. Simulation results have shown good correlation between the proposed traffic model and data taken from real traffic situations, and have confirmed that the proposed modeling technique based on queuing theory and standard decomposition method can be realized. In addition, simulation results give a confirmation of the model capability to correctly predict traffic performance measures.
