Abstract

The flow of vehicles down one lane of a straight, signalized urban street with fixed cycle traffic lights at 500 ft. intervals was simulated by means of a Fortran IV computer program. A car- following model and a simple model off lead- driver behaviour were used to model driver responses. Results are presented in tables. Validation of the simulation model was provided by traffic flow counts and speed measurements: correspondence between model and reality was close.
