Implementation of a microscopic simulation model for urban traffic — •Daniel Weber and Michael Schreckenberg — Physik von Transport und Verkehr, Universität Duisburg-Essen

We present a microscopic traffic flow model derived from the Nagel-Schreckenberg cellular automaton. This model is implemented for a realistic urban traffic topology, featuring multiple lanes, varying speed limits and junctions with and without traffic signals. Local flow and velocity measurements are used as input or the simulation to compute travel-times and level-of-service for the whole network. We show results of the calibration and validation of the simulation using data of detectors and test drives.
