This report describes the salient features of the SCOT (Simulation of Corridor Traffic) model. SCOT is computer model that may be applied to an urban traffic corridor and will simulate vehicular traffic on freeways, including on an off ramps, and urban streets. Vehicles are treated microscopically on the arterial street system and macroscopically as platoons on the freeway. Output statistics for each simulated link include numbers of vehicles discharged, total times of travel, average occupancy, and average speeds for specific time intervals.
