Simulation using PTV Vissim

Summary

Our group members has developed a traffic light scheduler algorithm aiming to reduce the traffic congestion in Singapore, a reliable simulated traffic network helps to examine the efficiency of the scheduler algorithm before on-site testing.
In this project, a group of FYP students worked with me to develop the Jurong Area Simulation Network (use PTV Vissim) with more than 200 signalized & non-signalized intersections that covers both urban areas and industrial areas.

To make the simulation network as realistic as possible, we made the following efforts:
- The road/traffic lights/stop signs layout matches real layout by using google street view.
- Set speed limit for each road according to data from LTA website.

Features involved in our simulation:
- Upstream Flow
- Downstream Flow
- Link Volume
- Turning Ratio …
