EXPERIMENTAL APPLICATIONS OF THE UTCS-1 NETWORK SIMULATION MODEL

The UTCS-1 network simulation model was designed to facilitate the development and evaluation of advanced computer-based traffic control systems. The model can also be used for smaller scale traffic engineering studies. Three series of experimental applications of the model are presented to illustrate the wide range of problems for which the model may be effectively used. In addition, the model is briefly described, and the resource requirements associated with the application of the model are identified. General conclusions are drawn with regard to the utility of the model as a traffic engineering tool.
