The trams package

The trams (transit route animation and modelling by simulation) package is a computer simulation model developed for the purpose of estimating the level of service of public transport services. The model simulates the progress of trams on their routes. The simulation takes into account tram manoeuvres at stops, traffic signals, unsignalised intersections and the effect of other traffic on tram behaviour. The model does not attempt to measure the effect of trams on other traffic (a).
