3 DIMENSIONAL ANIMATION OF SIMULATED TRAFFIC OPERATIONS
This article describes the use of a 3-dimensional animation of the TRAF-NETSIM model. The main features of the TRAF-NETSIM model, which provides a comprehensive description of vehicles travelling over an urban street network, are outlined. The linking of a special version of TRAF-NETSIM to a 3-dimensional rendering package is described. The result is a high quality image including such details as shadows, reflections, changes in traffic signals and indicator lights. It is suggested that the system will be particularly useful in offering a comparison of strategies and in 'selling' schemes to decision makers. Anticipated applications in the area of Intelligent Vehicle Highway Systems are suggested. For the covering abstract see IRRD 866027.
