Objective
To visualise traffic flow.
Using 2D animated graphics Using simple models of microscopic traffic behaviour Using simple models of junction control Flexible road-network editor Simple simulation results

Traffic simulation applications

Big business Used for
Transportation Planning Motorway Design Traffic Control & Operations Traffic Management Public Transportation ITS Evaluation

Technology Used
Different combined technologies:
CCTV cameras Image Recognition Vehicle sensors mounted on traffic lights or buried in the tarmac Communication network Central control Fallback system.

Advantages
Reduction in the number of stops, leading to smoother traffic flow and reduced congestion. Greater fuel economy and reduced environmental pollution Fewer accidents due to less driver frustration Greater safety for pedestrians . Improved monitoring giving instant reports of traffic signal failures and fault detection Reduced journey times for emergency vehicles

Original motivation
Noticed traffic junctions could be better. Now realised traffic systems are not optimised for the individual. Road-traffic networks are model-based systems ideally suited to an object-oriented programming approach.

General Architecture

Editor Methodology
Road Drawing
Adding Lanes Parallel Lanes

Junction Drawing
Junction rotation

Painting the screen Usability considerations

Painting the screen

Strong use of Back-buffered images Keep track of selected objects Number of internal states of the system

Saving and Loading

XML Human readable Enables possibility of project being a graphical front-end to a more detailed traffic model.

Simulator Methods
The timing system The animation of vehicles
The vehicle movement model Gap acceptance

Junction models

Mapping

Junction Models
Junction paths Non-signalled junctions
Priority traffic Gap acceptance

Signalled junctions
Traffic light Timing

Strengths
Input editor Animated output Graphical user interface Accessibility Extendibility.

Knowledge gained
Object-orientated approaches to traffic simulation do well to accommodate the necessary modular design of different traffic models Simple traffic models can lead to good visualisations of traffic flow Visualisations are resource intensive limiting the number of vehicles in the simulation Flexibility can be problematic Java is platform independent
