Synopsis
See how a digital computer maps traffic flow on a real city street
Discover how a detailed computer model simulates cars moving on a nine-block section of 13th Street in Washington, DC. This technical note shows how random arrivals, car types, speeds, and traffic rules come together to predict delays, running times, and capacity.
This edition explains the purpose, method, and outputs of the simulation. It describes how the model uses quarter-second steps, a variety of input parameters, and a library of routines to reproduce street traffic and traffic signals. It also discusses how changing inputs can yield predictions about real-world traffic under different conditions, with an emphasis on signal timing and system performance.- How the simulation is built: input generation, movement rules, and data outputs
- What the model logs: vehicle counts, running times, speeds, and lane use
- How results can inform traffic signal timing and street design decisions
- Limitations of a single run and ways to improve reliability through longer runs or multiple runs
