SUMMARY EVALUATION OF UTCS-1/NETSIM IN TORONTO

The UTCS-1 forerunner of NETSIM was studied and evaluated on a Toronto network (1) in 1974. The network consists of Bloor Street and its intersecting links. This paper summarizes some of the operational characteristics of UTCS-1, which have been essentially preserved in NETSIM, along with other empirically estimated operational characteristics of the model, and describes some potential applications and pitfalls.
