Simulation on the Behavior of Individual Vehicles with Influence Evaluation of Flow Rate and Speed Limits on Freeway

Article Preview

Abstract:

Traffic simulation, a powerful scientific tool, can be applied to both transportation planning and to transportation design and operations. In this paper, a micro-simulation model is developed to simulate the behavior of individual vehicles on the freeway and is used to evaluate the impact of changes in efficiency and safety resulting from changes to traffic flow and speed limits. All aforementioned influences are expressed at a quantitive level.
