Abstract

PARAMICS is one of the widely used microscopic traffic simulation program. One important feature of PARAMICS is that PARAMICS allows the user to customize many features of underlying simulation model through a Functional Interface or Application Programming Interface (API). We have developed a library of plug-in modules to enhance the capabilities of PARAMICS simulation through API. These API modules include actuated signal control, time-based ramp meter control, path-based routing, loop data aggregator, performance measures, MYSQL database connection, and network communication through CORBA, etc. With these functionality enhancements, PARAMICS simulation could be customized to test and evaluate various ITS applications.
