A MODEL FOR TRAFFIC SIMULATION

The impairment to man and environment by a steadily increasing traffic volume requires concrete solutions now more urgently than ever before. This problem can, however, only be coped with from a scientific point of view, when founded knowledge exists of the very complex interconnections of the system called 'traffic'. Regarding the enormous costs of experimental investigations undertaken to influence traffic purposefully, the significance of theoretical considerations prior to necessary field-tests can easily be seen. This paper will not only illustrate the development of such a model of traffic simulation, but also show first results thereof.
