METANET: A MACROSCOPIC SIMULATION PROGRAM FOR MOTORWAY NETWORKS

A dynamic simulation tool for traffic engineering problems in motorway networks, including multiple origins, multiple destinations and alternative routes, is presented. The basic equations of purely macroscopic modelling approach are explained and the input requirements are briefly described. Accuracy of simulation results is examined on the basis of real-life measurements from an example network in the South of Paris.
