ESTABLISHMENT OF HEROINE--HANSHIN EXPRESSWAY REAL-TIME OBSERVATION-BASED & INTEGRATED NETWORK EVALUATOR
Hanshin Expressway Corporation has started the upgrade construction of the new traffic control system in the autumn of 2001. In this paper, we present HEROINE, which is a traffic simulator, as one of topics of a new system. Firstly, we propose the concept of HEROINE that a lot of users use multipurpose, and settle on the operation procedure and the system requirement. Secondly, we establish the system configuration and the sub- model that satisfies these requirements etc. The sub-model includes: (1) Traffic Demand forecasting, (2) Flow, (3) Route choice behavior, (4) Traffic control and (5) Output and Store processing. After model establishment, we make validation and that we confirmed to be able almost to secure reproducibility the model. Finally, we confirmed the prospect of practical use through the case study in some phases. The traffic control system was adopted on the Hanshin Expressway in 1969. Since then the system has been continuously developed and expanded, until it is now recognized as one of the most advanced traffic control system in the world.
