Traditionally, continuous car-following modeling method and cellular automaton method are the two most typical traffic modeling methods. Both of them have their limitations. The former has difficulties in parameter calibration and is short off in randomization, while the later can´t reveal the basic continuance characteristic of vehicle speeds. And continuous vehicle speed is the basis of experimental verification. To this end, a method hybrid from imaginary slope algorithm based on built-in beam deflection curve and cellular automaton method is proposed. It supposes that every vehicle has its undulating target speed, the staying values of which vary according to the rules similar to that of a cellular automaton. In this way a simulation model for running vehicles is obtained, which has continuance and randomization uniformly and obeys the restriction conditions for the vehicle displacements, the vehicle speeds and the vehicle accelerations.
