Construction of the Traffic Management Support System with Traffic Simulation

Abstract

The function of the conventional simulation model is extended to calculate and provide useful information for decision in traffic management with visual illustrations. Therefore, the study aims at developing the traffic simulation system which can be used off line and handled easily. As an optional function, the propertraffic control action can be proposed with comparison of effectiveness in reduction of traffic congestion with several alternative control patterns. As the other traffic information such as travel timecan be estimated, the system may support the decision of traffic control and deal the traffic information efficiently.
