Abstract

A wide variety of models have been developed for simulating the traffic behaviour on urban streets. These vary in modelling philosophy from the large time-event oriented stochastic micro-simulation UTCS-1 model to the fluid approximation-type TRANSYT model. This paper estimates the extent to which the great detail employed in UTCS-1 is reflected in the quality of simulation results and the extent to which TRANSYT's evaluative capability is comprised relatively to that of UTCS- 1.
