An on-line approach based on microscopic traffic simulation to assist real time traffic management

A timely response to incidents or any conflicting situation, recurrent or not, is the key for any real time traffic management system, namely in large complex networks, but for a proper performance of such system additional functions are necessary: A decision making process assisting the traffic operator in identifying which could be the more appropriate management strategy to solve, the identified problem; the capability of testing before implementation whether the selected strategy will have the expected impact or not and an anticipatory capability to short term forecast the evolution of traffic conditions to prevent undesired effects. This paper presents the design and implementation of such a system based on AIMSUN microscopic simulator and its application to some real life projects. For the covering abstract see ITRD E140665.
