Intelligent Transport System auditing using road traffic micro-simulation

ITS systems have been deployed for last one and a half decades. Their aim is to increase a traffic flow rate in a road network of an urbanized area, to improve the comfort of driving as well as to decrease the pollution. A lot of commercial software are is available to simulate road traffic in urbanized areas. Some of them are suitable to perform traffic simulations of intelligent transportation systems via traffic modeling. A process of traffic modeling exploiting numerical simulations for an urban area where an ITS is deployed requires provision of digital maps, traffic demand amongst city zones, traffic signalization micro-programs being executed in the environment that can imitate a dynamic behavior of traffic lights at intersections in the ITS. In this paper an execution environment, developed by the Ars Numerica Group, that launches a road traffic micro-simulation is used to audit a performance of intersections’ signalization micro-programs on one of the main arteries in the city of Wrocław (Poland).
