TRAFFIC PLANNING MODELS WITH INTERACTIVE COLOUR GRAPHICS

The advent of microcomputers brought a radical change to traffic engineering and transport planning procedures, with an ease of computing not obtainable with mainframe machines. Now, the benefits of going one step further are being realised with the enhancement of microcomputer models with interactive colour graphics displays. Not only can effective use of colour be made in simply displaying given data and model outputs, but interactive colour graphics can be made integral components of program input data preparation and editing and program execution procedures. This paper describes some microcomputer models developed jointly at CSIRO Division of Building Research and Monash University for use in land use and transport planning and in traffic engineering.
