With the increasing of traffic complexity, traffic simulation becomes an important approach to deal with the complicated traffic problems; meanwhile, system modeling plays a more and more important role in the simulation systems. Cellular automata provide a simple discrete deterministic mathematical model for physical, biological, and computational systems and are shown to be capable of complic...

Automatic incident detection is becoming one of the core tools of urban traffic management, enabling more rapid identification and response to traffic incidents and congestion. The existing traffic detection infrastructure within many urban areas (often installed for traffic signal optimisation) provides urban traffic control systems with a near continuous stream of data on the state of traffic...

Simulation models are mathematical/logical representations of real-world systems. Microscopic traffic simulation models have been playing an important role in traffic engineering and particularly in cases, in which field studies, involving extensive data collection, over a wide range, is difficult or expensive to conduct. As the available simulation models can only replicate homogeneous traffic...

Simulation software Tecnomatix Plant was originally created for a modelling and subsequent simulation of production logistics processes. Its variability, however, opens its use also in other areas such as transport urban agglomerations. Based on that, research implemented to verify the program’s application transport, specifically visualize simulate traffic processes at node. The paper describe...

There is a developing trend to change the flow configuration in urban downtown or central business districts CBD from one way to two way. However, it has been difficult to reasonably estimate the traffic flow resulting from the two-way conversion. This paper presents a multiple resolution simulation and assignment approach to estimate traffic and environmental impacts due to different flow conf...

Multiagent-based simulations are regarded as a useful technology for analyzing complex social systems; for example, traffic in a city. Traffic in a city has various aspects such as route planning on the road network and driving operations on a certain road. Both types of human behavior are being studied separately by specialists in their respective domains. We believe that traffic simulation pl...

Traffic oscillation, stop and go traffic, is created by different reasons such as: sudden speed drop of leader vehicle. Stop and go traffic commonly is observed in congested freeways results in traffic oscillation. Many theories had been presented to define congestion traffic based on laws of physics such as: thermodynamics and fluid. But, these theories could not explain the complexity of driv...
