A Framework for Evaluating the VISSIM Traffic Simulation with Extended Range Telepresence
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a novel framework for combining traffic simulations and extended range telepresence. The real user’s position data can thus be used for validation and calibration of models of pedestrian dynamics, while the user experiences a high degree of immersion by interacting with agents in realistic simulations.

A Vissim Based Framework for Simulation of Cooperative Ramp Metering
Due to the increase of vehicle numbers in recent decades, there exists a significant problem of reoccurring road traffic congestion. Such congestions are a characteristic of densely populated urban areas. They occur daily during the morning and afternoon rush hours. The road traffic congestion problem can be solved by applying new traffic control approaches from the domain of intelligent transp...
متن کاملOptimal Signal Control in Urban Road Networks with High Priority Congested Centers
Keeping the density of traffic flow and air pollution in an acceptable level and developing a good capacity for transit in the high priority areas of the city, is really a big deal in large and crowded cities. To address this problem, a new method of intersection signal optimization is presented in this paper. Based on network fundamental diagrams, an Internal–External Traffic Metering Strategy...
متن کاملSimulating the Effect of Speed Humps on the U-Turn Traffic
Traffic simulation represents an effective tool for evaluating the suggested alternatives to enhance traffic conditions prior to their application in real sites. U-turn sections represent examples of the complicated sections that cannot be analyzed properly without applying microsimulation approach. Recently, in Iraq, speed humps were applied in prior to the merging locations and U-turn sectio...
متن کاملExtended Range Telepresence for Evacuation Training in Pedestrian Simulations
In this contribution, we propose a new framework to evaluate pedestrian simulations by using Extended Range Telepresence. Telepresence is used as a virtual reality walking simulator, which provides the user with a realistic impression of being present and walking in a virtual environment that is much larger than the real physical environment, in which the user actually walks. The validation of ...
متن کاملComputational Modeling of Driver Distraction by Integrating Cognitive and Agent-based Traffic Simulation Models
The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has reported that the major cause of vehicle crashes in the United States has been driver inattention and distraction. Among various types of distraction, cell-phone dialing and text messaging have been shown to significantly degrade driving performance. Existing studies have mainly focused on driver distraction scenarios with one or a few...
