Modelling Advanced Transport Telematic Applications with Microscopic Simulators: The Case of AIMSUN2

  • Conference paper

Abstract

The simulation of Advanced Transport Telematic Applications requires specific modelling features, which have not been usually taken into account in the design of microscopic traffic simulation models. This paper discusses the general requirements of some of these applications, and describes how have they been implemented in the microscopic traffic simulator AIMSUN2.
