This study proposes an architecture for an interactive motion-based traffic simulation environment. In order to enhance modeling realism involving actual human beings, the proposed architecture integrates multiple types of simulation, including: (i) motion-based driving simulation, (ii) pedestrian simulation, (iii) motorcycling and bicycling simulation, and (iv) traffic flow simulation. The arc...

Computer simulation modeling is an established tool for assessing traffic operations. Over the past three decades, a variety of traffic simulation models have been developed, and many experiments and applications of these traffic simulation models to imaginary and real traffic operations have been conducted. This paper is intended to review widely used and newly developed models, in terms of mo...

Cellular automata (CA) play an important role in the development of computationally efficient microscopic traffic models and recently have gained considerable importance as a mean of optimising traffic control strategies. However, real-time application of the available CA models in traffic control systems is a difficult task due to their discrete and stochastic nature. This paper introduces a n...

The purpose of this research is to design and implement a road traffic congestion and traffic patterns simulation (TPS) model and integrate it with extension-information model (EIM). The problems of road traffic simulation and control are studied according to the method of extension information model, and from the spatio-temporal analysis point of view. The rules of the traffic simulation from ...

Distributed traffic simulation system is usual used in large-scale traffic simulation, so the load balancing of the simulation terminals has now becoming the hot spot of research. A fixed number of simulation terminals were used to realize the load balancing of distributed traffic simulation system typically. But it’s not flexible enough. Therefore, we proposed the dynamic load balancing based ...

the performance of many traffic control strategies depends on how much the traffic flow models are accurately calibrated. one of the most applicable traffic flow model in traffic control and management is lwr or metanet model. practically, key parameters in lwr model, including free flow speed and critical density, are parameterized using flow and speed measurements gathered by inductive loop d...
