MULTPLAN: A COMPUTER SIMULATION MODEL OF A MULTI-LANE SIGNAL CONTROLLED ROAD DURING THE TRANSITION BETWEEN TWO FIXED-TIME SIGNAL-PLANS

Multplan is a computer program for the microscopic simulation of traffic in one direction on a multi-lane road which contains a linked system of up to six signalised intersections. The signalised intersections must be controlled by fixed-time signal plans; but up to five changes of plan, using any one of four plan-change strategies, may be simulated. The program has been developed from multsim, and this report is intended to serve as a users' manual. Detailed descriptions of the input and output of multplan are therefore provided. (TRRL)
