VTI TRAFFIC SIMULATION MODEL. A PROGRAM FOR THE MONTE CARLO SIMULATION OF VEHICLE TRAFFIC ALONG TWO-LANE RURAL ROADS. AN APPLICATION OF JSP AND SIMULA -67 LANGUAGE. REVISED EDITION

This report deals with a simulation program which describes the dynamic sequence of vehicle traffic over defined stretches of road for given traffic volumes and traffic compositions. In the program the stretch of road considered consists of a sequence of consecutive road block objects and a sight distance function in each direction of travel. Each road block object is homogeneous with regard to the following: (1) road width and road surface type, (2) auxiliary lane/lateral space (i.e. wide shoulder), (3) slope, (4) horizontal curvature, (5) speed limit, and (6) overtaking restrictions. Jackson Structured Programming technique (JSP) has been used in system and programming work and the programming language is SIMULA 67. (Author/TRRL)
