This paper describes about the assessment of transportation policies using a traffic simulator. For the comprehensive assessment, we need to evaluate transportation policies from the viewpoints of traffic, environmental and economic impacts. Assuming the multilateral evaluation of the traffic system by a traffic simulator, the simulator is required to output the realistic traffic conditions and the detailed information about the behaviors of trip makers. In this research, we applied the intelligent-multi-agent-based traffic simulator, which is able to deal with the detailed interaction of each private cars, buses and pedestrians, to evaluate the tram railway extension plan in Okayama-city. Through some simulations under the assumptions that the private-car users are reduced when the railway is extended, we confirmed the impacts of the extension plan.
