TRAPHIX: A GRAPHICS PROCESSOR FOR THE FHWA MICROSCOPIC TRAFFIC SIMULATION COMPUTER MODELS
Computer traffic simulation models are valuable tools for evaluating potential technologies for Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) microscopic traffic simulation models, NETSIM, FRESIM, and CORSIM, are regarded as highly comprehensive but somewhat difficult to use. Traphix is a recently developed graphics processor for use with these microscopic models. An overview of the Traphix software development effort is provided, with an emphasis on design considerations that support ITS, followed by a discussion of Traphix capabilities.
