Abstract

In intelligent road traffic management systems various dynamic road traffic information is available so that the behavior of traffic flow is affected by the information. An object-oriented road traffic software simulator has been developed as a tool for studying the flow. As an application of the simulator, some examples of intelligent traffic simulation on it is introduced and their results are reported. One example is signal control on a small network compared with conventional control which minimises total delay time and the control which guarantees drivers maximum delay time. The other is the effect of parking availability information for three parking areas
