A microscopic online simulation framework for real time traffic management

Abstract

This paper presents an online simulation framework, which combines agent based real-time microscopic simulation and driving behavior modeling. The connection is established by an artificial reality, which provides the required data and visualizes the results of both models. This combination allows a microscopic simulation with a detailed representation of driving behavior under the influence of environmental conditions such as light, weather and road conditions. The result is an accurate prediction of traffic situa-tions and a basis for dynamic traffic management strategy decisions.
