A USERS GUIDE TO SIMPLE APPLICATIONS OF TRARR

TRARR is a rural traffic simulation model developed at the Australian Road Research Board, which is now available to users outside ARRB. A detailed manual has previously been published, and is available with the program in updated computer-readable form. This paper provides an introductory guide for those wishing to use the program for the first time. Instructions are given for setting up the simulation program and running it with standard input files. Further guidelines are presented for creating a file of road data and conducting a structured simulation experiment using different road improvement proposals and various traffic conditions. The interpretation and analysis of simulation results are also briefly discussed. The guide has been revised to take account of changes introduced in TRARR Version 2.3, and is available separately as ARRB Internal Report AIR 359-7A. (Author/TRRL)
