A FRAMEWORK FOR GENERIC MODULAR ATMS/ATIS SUPPORT IN IVHS TRAFFIC SIMULATION

The authors present an interface to facilitate traffic simulation of intelligent vehicle highway systems (IVHS). Parameter lists required for effectively simulating the advanced traveler information systems (ATIS) and/or the advanced traffic management systems (ATMS) are presented. The coupling of vendor specific ATIS or ATMS control algorithms and architecture specification with existing traffic modeling tools, in this case the Integration and THOREAU traffic simulations, is a key capability in the initial evaluation and analysis of alternative IVHS architectures. The paper details the common data elements exchanged between a traffic simulator and user- coded IVHS algorithms to determine costs-benefits and measures-of- effectiveness (MOE) for a wide range of ATIS and ATMS implementation alternatives.
