MICROSCOPIC SIMULATION MODEL CONSIDERING PUBLIC TRANSPORT POLICY

DOI

Abstract

The main purpose of this study is to provide a basis for evaluating the public transport policies such as public transport priority systems (PTPS) by developing microscopic traffic simulation model. In this study, two types of public transport policies have been considered for evaluation. They are: bus lanes and PTPS at traffic signal. Fuzzy logic reasoning has been incorporated in route choice analysis while choosing the route based on the level of satisfaction of the available routes. To demonstrate the validity and applicability of the developed microscopic simulation model, a part of the Gifu city network (60 nodes and 204 links) has been considered and estimated traffic condition without and with policy options. It can be concluded from the output of the present study that developed microscopic traffic simulation model predicts vehicle movements with fair amount of accuracy and can be used to evaluate various public transport policies particularly PTPS.
