THE RIJKURVE SIMULATION MODEL

HET SIMULATIEMODEL RIJKURVE

Description of a computer model which calculates and draws up the path which is covered in a certain manoeuvre by any given vehicle at any speed. Using this model one can calculate not only the appropriate size of bus-stops etc, but also whether buses and other large vehicles will be able to negotiate roads and curves. In addition, which is important in (re) designing residential areas: It is possible to estimate the optimal size and shape of speed-reducing elements. (TRRL)
