THE DEVELOPMENT OF UTCS/NETSIM/ICG: AN INTEGRATED URBAN TRAFFIC CONTROL SYSTEM - NETWORK SIMULATION - INTERACTIVE COMPUTER GRAPHICS PROGRAM

This report discusses the development of an Urban Traffic Control System simulation program which: 1. provides pseudo real-time graphic displays of signal settings surveillance data and system performance measures, and 2. simulates user intervention by providing interactive capabilities. The development of the simulator supports current and future research in urban traffic control systems, provides the necessary evaluation tool prior to the implementation of these systems, and is potentially useful as a training aid for UTCS operators.
