Abstract

This paper aims at developing an integrated dynamic simulation-assignment model, DynaTAIWAN, for advanced traffic management systems as well as advanced traveller information systems. The model is composed of two layers, namely simulation-layer and real-time control layer. One of the key features of DynaTAIWAN is its ability to model multiple vehicle classes, especially motorcycles. Numerical experiments are conducted on two networks for illustrating possible capabilities of DynaTAIWAN
