Digital twins for intelligent transportation systems are currently attracting great interests, in which generating realistic, diverse, and human-like traffic flow in simulations is a formidable challenge. Current approaches often hinge on predefined driver models, objective optimization, or reliance on pre-recorded driving datasets, imposing limitations on their scalability, versatility, and adaptability. In this paper, we introduce TrafficMCTS, an innovative framework that harnesses the synergy of groupbased Monte Carlo tree search (MCTS) and Social Value Orientation (SVO) to engender a multifaceted traffic flow replete with varying driving styles and cooperative tendencies. Anchored by a closed-loop architecture, our framework enables vehicles to dynamically adapt to their environment in real time, and ensure feasible collision-free trajectories. Through comprehensive comparisons with state-of-the-art methods, we illuminate the advantages of our approach in terms of computational efficiency, planning success rate, intent completion time, and diversity metrics. Besides, we simulate highway and roundabout scenarios to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed framework and highlight its ability to induce diverse social behaviors within the traffic flow. Finally, we validate the scalability of TrafficMCTS by showcasing its prowess in simultaneously mass vehicles within a sprawling road network, cultivating a landscape of traffic flow that mirrors the intricacies of human behavior.
