Road network management is an important task for the economic and social growth. In the context of an Indian city, efficient road network management is required to overcome the problem of traffic congestions and road accidents. Computer traffic simulation is a better way to analysis the road network. In this study a maiden attempt for a systematic empirical traffic simulation study is performed...

Simulation of traffic control is very important nowadays for dealing with increasing urban traffic. It helps to construct the strategy of traffic lights switching and determine alternative path in the case of an accident or traffic jam. In the paper we present the application of simulation tool DYNASIM being used by French company DYNALOGIC. It has big number of alternative possibilities in mod...

This paper implements and analyzes a highway traffic-flow simulation based on continuum modeling of traffic dynamics. A traffic-flow simulation was developed and mapped onto a parallel computer architecture. Two algorithms (the one-step and two-step algorithms) to solve the simulation equations were developed and implemented. Tests with real traffic data collected from the freeway network in th...

Driving simulation is an invaluable tool for conducting driving-related research. In any virtual driving environment, autonomous traffic is necessary to complete the driver's immersive experience. The higher the fidelity of a driving simulator, the more stringent are the requirements for the realistic appearance of autonomous traffic. Unfortunately, an increase in the fidelity, or the complexit...

Multi-agent systems allow the simulation of complex phenomena that cannot easily be described analytically. Multi-agent approaches are often based on coordinating agents whose actions and interactions are related to the emergence of the phenomenon to be simulated. In this article, we focus on road traffic simulation, specifically the design of a road traffic simulation tool able to deal realist...

This paper investigates the feasibility of a self-organizing, completely distributed traffic information system based upon vehicle-to-vehicle communication technologies. Unlike centralized traffic information systems, the proposed system does not need public infrastructure investment as a prerequisite for implementation. Due to the complexity of the proposed system, simulation is selected as th...

The present paper studies simulation of traffic flow in urban environment, microscopic traffic flow simulation models of street’ crossroads are made. The behaviour of cellular automata (CA) models is analyzed by means of such as indexes queue lengths at crossroads with traffic signals, flow rates, average velocities on different roads. The following indicators characterize traffic situations in...

This work implements and analyses a highway traffic flow simulation based on continuum modeling of traffic dynamics. A traffic-flow simulation was developed and mapped onto a parallel computer architecture. Two algorithms (the 1-step and 2-step algorithms) to solve the simulation equations were developed and implemented. They were then tested on an nCUBE2, a 1024 node hypercube with very slow i...

Traffic microscopic traffic simulation models have become extensively used in both transportation operations and management analyses, which are very useful in reflecting the dynamic nature of transportation system in a stochastic manner. As far as the microscopic traffic flow simulation users are concerned, the one of the major concerns would be the appropriate calibration of the simulation mod...

The Insigma project goals include traffic optimization and control. It is assumed that advanced functions including traffic monitoring and prediction, route planning, and, finally, traffic optimization and control, will be able to utilize the available road infrastructure in an optimal way in order to minimize traffic jams and related social and environmental losses. The efficiency of these mec...
