 *UXsim* is a lightweight traffic flow simulator in pure Python.
-It enables users to model various traffic scenarios, from small toy networks to large metropolitan areas, without external dependencies.
-Especially ideal for academic research and educational use.
+You can model various traffic scenarios, from small toy networks to large metropolitan areas, by intuitive Python coding.
