Improved Modeling Environment for ATMIS

This paper presents a new modeling approach in which the WATSim simulation model is interfaced with dynamic traffic assignment algorithms in order to simulate vehicles with route guidance/information systems. This enhanced model can generate origin-destination and path matrices from observed turning movement counts. It also provides comprehensive statistical, graphical and animation outputs of the vehicle movements. The model was applied to the downtown San Francisco Embarcadero network and is shown to be useful in evaluating the effectiveness of Advanced Traffic Management and Information Systems (ATMIS) strategies.
