FLEXSYT-II-, A Validated Microscopic Simulation Tool

Abstract

FLEXSYT-II- is a microscopic simulation program for small scale networks, which can be used to study effects of all kinds of geometric alternatives, like bus lanes, roundabouts, separate left turnes, etc. and all kinds of traffic management measures, such as traffic control strategies, priority measures, ramp-metering, main-line metering, HOV lanes and toll-gates. A good example is the use of FLEXSYT to study the effects of ramp-metering. The model is validated with real-life measurements
