Lane-Based Road Network Model and its Application in Simulation Road Network Modeling

Abstract:

Traffic road network is one of the fundamental components in Intelligent Transportation System (ITS). This paper analyses the requirement for traffic road network in ITS, and constructs a lane-based road network model. The model which describes traffic network from different levels is composed of 5 kinds of elements: link, node, arc, lane and lane connector. In level-1, the basic unit of the model is link or arc, which represents the road section with the constant traffic organization. That means the number of lanes, the attributes of lane and the topological relationship between lanes in link or arc are constant. In level-2, lane and lane connector give the detail information of the network based on arcs. This model can support various research and application fields in ITS. Finally, we take the network modeling in traffic simulation as an example. The simulation traffic network in TransModeler is extracted automatically from the traffic network database that is constructed on the lane-based network model.
