Abstract:

Traffic simulation, based on applied computer digital model, is an analysis method for complex traffic phenomenon, which has been an important application of computer simulation technology in traffic engineering. Researchers, designers and managers utilize the simulation widely to evaluate traffic planning, organization and management, and optimize intersection channelization and signal timing. This method pushed the research on traffic management from qualitative to quantitative, from empirical to scientific. The time of the Internet of Things and big data provides opportunities for traffic simulation to deal with the increasing problems of efficiency, environment, energy and safety caused by traffic, and improves traffic simulation from off-line mode to on-line mode.

Key words: urban traffic, intelligent transportation system (ITS), traffic simulation, computer simulation, urban traffic management
