Traffic simulation models
Traffic simulation models are computer programs that replicate how vehicles move on roads to analyze and improve transportation systems. They consider factors like vehicle behavior, road layout, signal timing, and congestion patterns. By simulating real-world conditions, these models help planners evaluate the impact of new infrastructure, traffic regulations, or technology, allowing for better decision-making to reduce congestion, improve safety, and optimize traffic flow. Essentially, they create virtual scenarios to understand complex traffic dynamics without disrupting actual roads.
