Research on Microscopic Traffic Simulation Model in VISSIM

Abstract

VISSIM is a microscopic, time-interval and driving behavior-based simulation modeling tool for traffic modeling of urban traffic and public transportation operations, It can be used to analyze various traffic conditions, such as lane setting, traffic composition, traffic signals, bus stops, urban traffic and public transport operations, is an effective tool for evaluating traffic engineering design and urban planning solutions. This paper mainly studies the system architecture and simulation basic principle of VISSIM traffic simulation environment software, and introduces its core model-vehicle follow-up model and vehicle lane change algorithm in detail, and designs a simulation example plot to verify the traffic simulation model.
