A Microscopic Simulator for Freeway Traffic
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 about 3,500 inductive loops are provided on-line minute by minute. Special attention is paid to the technical aspects of the simulation like the network structure. Results are presented and discussed.

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...
متن کاملA Study on Freeway Ramp Merging Phenomena in Congested Traffic Situation by Traffic Simulation Combined with Driving Simulator
This research studies freeway ramp merging phenomena under congested traffic situation via a Driving Simulator (DS). The main objectives of this study were to initially develop a traffic simulation, which evaluates the capacity of merging section relevant to the geometric design and the flow condition. Furthermore, to form a pilot system of the DS combined with the simulation, from which the dr...
متن کاملFreeSim – A V2V and V2R Freeway Traffic Simulator
In this paper we describe FreeSim, which is a fully-customizable macroscopic and microscopic freeflow traffic simulator. FreeSim allows for multiple freeway systems to be easily represented and loaded into the simulator as a graph data structure with edge weights determined by the current speeds. Traffic and graph algorithms can be created and executed for the entire freeway system or for indiv...
متن کاملA Statistical Approach for Calibrating a Microsimulation Model for Freeways
In this paper the calibration of a traffic microsimulation model based on speed-density relationships is presented. Hypothesis test was applied in the calibration process to measure the closeness between empirical data and simulation outputs and determine whether the difference between (observed and simulated) speeddensity relationships was statistically significant. Statistical regressions bet...
متن کاملDevelopment of a Microsimulation Program to Study Freeway Ramp Merging Process in Congested Traffic Conditions
This work describes a micro simulation program that is developed to study freeway ramp merging phenomena under congested traffic conditions. First, the results of extensive macroscopic and microscopic studies are used to establish a model for the behaviour of merging drivers. A theoretical framework for modeling the ramp and freeway lag driver acceleration-deceleration behaviour is then present...
