Road traffic simulation is becoming more important as the complexity and multi-modality of grow with evolution novel transportation automotive technologies. There are several ways to mimic dynamics. However, realistic modeling has a clear trade-off between accuracy processing time. Obviously, detailed dynamics sought, calculation needed. The paper offers compromise solution introducing mesoscop...

This paper reviews and compares car-following and lanechanging logics embedded in some microscopic traffic simulation models, and comments are made on the existing techniques of traffic simulation. Future directions of traffic simulation are identified in three aspects: vehicle modeling, driver modeling, and vehicle movement modeling. To illustrate these ideas, a conceptual model, 2DSIM, is pro...

This article focuses on the study of the modeling and simulation of an intelligent transportation system that uses discrete event system specification (DEVS)/high-level architecture (HLA), which is the methodology of hierarchical modular modeling and distributed simulation. The authors performed distributed homogeneous traffic simulation by extending an existing developed DEVS-based I 3 D 2 tra...

In this paper we discuss the use of self-organizing architectures for traffic management systems. We introduce Soteria, a multi-layered, integrated, super-infrastructure for traffic safety enhancement and congestion reduction. We highlight Soteria’s use of microand macro-level models and its hybrid top-down/bottom-up strategy for traffic management. We then present a generic architecture that c...

The paper examines self-similar properties of real telecommunications network traffic data over a wide range of time scales. These self-similar properties are very different from the properties of traditional models based on Poisson and Markov-modulated Poisson processes. Simulation with stochastic and long range dependent traffic source models is performed, and the algorithms for buffer overfl...

Currently different categories of traffic analysis tools exist. Among them simulation models can be marked as one of the most powerful approach to do traffic analysis researches. In classical literature simulation models are divided on macroscopic, mesoscopic and microscopic models. Microscopic and macroscopic modelling are well known and widely used, but both of them have disadvantages and lim...
