On the study of traffic safety evaluation at intersection part by micro-traffic simulation

Abstract

A traffic safety measure is decided from the results of the traffic accident data. Therefore, it is difficult for us to decide the traffic safety measures and to do the previous evaluation for the traffic safety measures before a traffic accident occurs. In addition to this, we have the problem for implementing the suitable traffic safety measures when the traffic flow changed by modifying the road network and developing the new interchange. To solve this subject, we examined the micro-traffic simulation method (NETSIM and Simr) which is used the verification of traffic processing against the traffic safety evaluation. In consequence, we applied our past research results to the micro-traffic simulation and carried out developing the new safety evaluation technics of intersection.
