Abstract :
Simulation of traffic flow is an effective tool for traffic system management, control and optimization, particularly in congested urban areas. TESS is an object oriented traffic simulation model with detailed representation of vehicles and their interactions. This paper presents the TESS simulator including the car-following model and new lane-changing procedures. Four weaving sections are simulated in TESS platform using field data come from traffic information collecting system in Shanghai China. Compared with the CORSIM model, good results are obtained after using the calibrated TESS model in simulating weaving sections.
