On-Line Simulation of the Freeway Network of North Rhine-Westphalia

A Microscopic Simulator for Freeway Traffic

In this contribution a micro-simulator for freeway traffic which is coupled to a stream of on-line data stemming from inductive loops is presented. In order to provide network-wide information about the current traffic state a cellular automaton traffic flow model is combined with the measured data. The framework is applied to the freeway network of North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW), where data from...

On-line Simulation and Traffic Forecast: Applications and Results

We study an approach to forecast vehicular traffic using a micro-simulator. In order to provide network-wide information about the current traffic state a cellular automaton traffic flow model is combined with measured data. The framework is applied to the freeway network of North Rhine-Westphalia, where data from about 3,500 loop detectors are available and provided on-line minute by minute. F...

A Multi-Agent System for On-Line Simulations based on Real-World Traffic Data

In this paper we present and review a framework for online simulations and predictions which are based on the combination of real-world traffic data and a multi-agent traffic flow model. The agent architecture consists of two layers which distinguish the different tasks that road users have to perform. The framework is applied to the urban road network of Duisburg and the freeway network of Nor...
