Abstract
The paper describes methods of estimating traffic planning for sightseeing, and sample study at Kanazawa city. In order to do the estimation two models are proposed. One is the mathematical model to find out the proper scale of the parking lot in the city area, using time series quantity data of traffic cars. The proper scale is defined by the maximum number of the time series sums of general traffic cars and sightseeing ones and capacity of crossings on the accessing routes to the city area. The other is the computer simulation model to forecast traffic jams. Fundamental framework of this is based on the Object-Oriented Event-Driven Simulation. In this model, in addition to deal with general traffic cars and sightseeing one individually, they are represented in the independent object. And it is characteristic of the model to use space network data directory instead of the block diagram like GPSS and make it possible to cope with changes of traffic planning automatically.
