Modelling and simulation of mixed traffic

Traffic simulation is one of the most effective tools for the testing of new road design solutions, however the simulation of Asian traffic with potentially the most rapidly changing traffic conditions, and requiring new infrastructures and improvement solutions, is still at an early stage. In that purpose, we developed a new mixed flow model for the micro simulator of Aimsun. The model aims at providing a detailed and robust behavioural model to simulate Asian traffic conditions. This paper provides a description of the model, followed by a short sensitivity analysis focussed on capacity and jam density and an application to a busy junction in the city of Thane, India.
