Have a look at the MATSim Book (www.matsim.org/the-book). Chapter 1.3 explains MATSim's Traffic Flow Model, containing a description of the different queues involved when vehicles travel along a link and over intersections. Chapter 50.3 (Node Model, Queueing Representation of Kinematic Waves) contains more information, including the Javadoc-description of the main method handling nodes.
