Simulation and dynamics of freeway traffic

Simulation, Dynamics and Control of Freeway Traffic

This paper presents the Simulator of Intelligent Transportation Systems (SITS).The SITS is based on a microscopic simulation approach to reproduce real traffic conditions in an urban or non-urban network considering different types of vehicles, drivers and roads. A dynamical analysis of several traffic phenomena, applying a new modelling formalism based on the embedding of statistics and Fourie...

Simulation and dynamics of freeway traffic

This paper presents the new package entitled Simulator of Intelligent Transportation Systems (SITS) and a computational oriented analysis of traffic dynamics. The SITS adopts a microscopic simulation approach to reproduce real traffic conditions considering different types of vehicles, drivers and roads. A set of experiments with the SITS reveal the dynamic phenomena exhibited by this kind of s...

Simulation and dynamical analysis of freeway traffic

0-7803-7952-7/03/$17.00  2003 IEEE. Abstract This paper discusses the problem of modelling and simulation of traffic systems, and presents the traffic simulator SITS (Simulator of Intelligent Transportation Systems). The SITS is based on a microscopic simulation approach considering different types of vehicles, drivers and roads. A dynamical analysis of several traffic phenomena is then addres...

Macroscopic Modeling and Simulation of Freeway Traffic Flow

This paper illustrates the macroscopic modeling and simulation of Interstate 80 Eastbound Freeway in the Bay Area. Traffic flow and occupancy data from loop detectors are used for calibrating the model and specifying the inputs to the simulation. The freeway is calibrated based on the Link-Node Cell Transmission Model and missing ramp flow data are estimated using an iterative learning-based im...
