OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE EVALUATION OF ROAD INTERSECTION USING PTV VISSIM MICROSCOPIC SIMULATION

A Performance Evaluation of Bus Stop Placements near a Signalized Intersection by a Microscopic Traffic Simulation

In this paper, data from an on-site survey in Seoul, Korea and the microscopic traffic simulation are used to evaluate the performances of Bus Rapid Transit bus stops operated on different placements to their nearest traffic signals: far-side, and near-side. The influence of Bus Priority Signal Systems is also analyzed. The results reveal that a near-side bus stop performs better under the curr...

Microscopic simulation as an evaluation tool for the road safety of vulnerable road users

Calibration and Comparison of the VISSIM and INTEGRATION Microscopic Traffic Simulation Models

Microscopic traffic simulation software have gained significant popularity and are widely used both in industry and research mainly because of the ability of these tools to reflect the dynamic nature of the transportation system in a stochastic fashion. To better utilize these software, it is necessary to understand the underlying logic and differences between them. A Car-following model is the...

Comparison of SimTraffic and VISSIM Microscopic Traffic Simulation Tools in Modeling Roundabouts

SimTraffic and VISSIM are two microscopic traffic simulation tools that are capable of modeling arterial roads with signalized intersections and roundabouts. This study compares the performance of the two simulation tools in modeling dual lane and triple lane roundabouts under different scenarios such as traffic volume, proportion of left turning movement, and proportion of trucks in the traffi...
