Abstract :
This study develops AVENUE (an Advanced and Visual Evaluator for road Networks in Urban arEas). AVENUE incorporates a driver´s route choice model and a traffic flow model that can reproduce over-saturated network conditions as well as under-saturated ones. The development of AVENUE is based on object-oriented programming which affords flexible modifications to users´ requirements and graphical environment for easy operations. This model was validated through an application to the Kinshicho area in Tokyo
