Abstract
This paper proposes a dynamic traffic simulation model called BOX-MODEL for evaluating traffic control measures to reduce urban traffic congestion, for example Advanced Travelers Information Systems. This model simulates traffic condition in a large-scale network, and also simulates micro-scale traffic condition at intersections. Each link is divided into congestion-area and non-congestion-area. Each area is abstracted by some boxes whose size is identical to the the capacity per unit time of the area. This model simulates drivers' dynamic route choice. We examine the performance of the model through calculating dynamic traffic flow on an imaginary traffic network. The validity of the model is shown.
