Abstract: |
Currently
different categories of traffic analysis tools exist. Among them simulation
models can be marked as one of the most powerful approach to do traffic
analysis researches. In classical literature simulation models are divided on
macroscopic, mesoscopic and microscopic models. Microscopic and macroscopic
modelling are well known and widely used, but both of them have disadvantages
and limitations, which make them in some conditions hard to apply. The term “mesoscopic modelling” itself, is interpreted by
different scientists in different ways. In general under mesoscopic
traffic flow models should be understood as models where traffic flow is
described with high level of detail, but at the same time flow behaviour and
flows interaction are presented at a low level of description. The proposed
earlier new simulation approach called by authors “mesoscopic simulation” was
applied for traffic flow simulation. The main goal of this paper is to
present an example of application of discrete rate approach of the ExtendSim
simulation software for urban transport corridor simulation. The discrete
rate approach fully covers ideas of mesoscopic simulation. The literature
survey showed that mainly discrete rate approach is used in logistics, but
not in transport area. So the tasks of the paper are to present main
techniques of model implementation using discrete rate approach and to apply
this approach for urban transport corridor simulation. |
