人们越来越认识到，修建更多道路并不能解决交通拥堵问题，反而会使情况变得更糟。不应增加道路的通行能力，而应努力寻找方法来提高公共交通方式的服务水平，特别是利用技术，例如将计算机和信息技术应用于交通系统。智能交通系统（ITS）等先进技术为缓解交通拥堵问题提供了巨大机遇。另一方面，ITS技术需要经过严格的测试和评估，而这只能通过计算机仿真建模来实现。本文概述了交通仿真以及塞浦路斯尼科西亚高度拥堵交通网络微观仿真模型的开发过程。经过验证的仿真模型使交通规划人员和交通管理者能够在实施之前测试涉及智能交通系统使用的各种快速公交场景解决方案。
It is increasingly realized that building more roads does not solve the traffic congestion problem but actually makes it worse. Instead of adding capacity to our roads there should be an effort to find ways in order to enhance the level of service of the public transport mode especially with the use of technology, such as applying computer and information technology to transportation systems. Advanced technologies such as Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) provide a big opportunity for alleviating the traffic congestion problem. On the other hand, ITS technologies require though rigorous testing and evaluation, which can only be achieved with computer simulation modeling. This paper presents an overview on traffic simulation as well as the development process of a microscopic simulation model of a highly congested traffic network in Nicosia, Cyprus. The validated simulation model gives transportation planners and traffic managers the capability to test various Bus Rapid Transit scenario solutions involving the use of intelligent transportation systems prior to their implementation.
