Individual drivers are increasingly capable of making well informed route choice during the journey in attempts to minimize their travel costs. This trend indicates a great potential of using traffic information as a powerful mean to complement traffic signal control in order to improve the efficiency and safety of our urban traffic networks. Individual traveller’s dynamic responses to real time traffic information will eventually determine the effectiveness and feasibility of the advanced traveller’s information systems (ATIS). However, such responses can not be properly investigated without a true ATIS environment. This paper presents a tool for ATIS development and testing in a simulated urban traffic environment, which aims to reduce the dependency on real ATIS infrastructure at the initial stage of its development. This tool is built on our recently completed Adelaide city council area microscopic traffic simulation model (ACC model) which represents a typical central business district (CBD) traffic environment (Stazic et al. 2005). | | Conference Name | State of Australian Cities conference | | Conference Location | Adelaide, Australia | | Conference Date | 28-30 November 2007 | | Page Count | 10 |
