The Assessment Index System for Traffic Simulation Study in China

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper analyses the road traffic operation in four typical situations including unsignalized junctions, signalized junctions, road sections and road networks in China. Four major factors such as road facilities, efficiency, safety and environment containing over twenty sub-factors are identified and weighed using analytic hierarchy process to form a holistic assessment index system which suggests a guideline for China’s road traffic simulation study.
