Assessment of Congestion Transition and Effectiveness of Measures by Using Micro Simulation

Abstract

In this study, the effectiveness of measure and transition phenomenon of traffic congestion were analyzed with a series of data from model development to ex post evaluation of traffic congestion.
As the result, it was found that considering the range and factor of reproducing traffic congestion in the traffic simulation model was important. The study also identified the importance of acquiring knowledge from ex post evaluation of congestion measures based on local characteristics and other restrictions.
As the future work, it is necessary to analysis the relation of congestion transition amount and congestion measures by inquiring real examples.
