Abstract

Insect is a computer suite for modelling unsignalised intersections, from a simple intersection description it produces estimates of delay, stops, fuel consumption, queue lengths and other measures of traffic operation. The model is based on a vehicle- by- vehicle simulation technique with vehicle movements governed by car- following principles.Con- flict resolution is based on gap acceptance criteria.Lane changing is also modelled using a gap acceptance method with both strategic and tactical lane selection included.
