Abstract

This paper reports the achievements of DRIVE project V 1054, ASTERIX, in the two first years of development. ASTERIX addresses two main tasks of DRIVE Workplan, T206: System and Scenario Simulation, and T307: Traffic Test Models for RTI (Road Transport Informatics) Applications. The main objective of ASTERIX is the development of a general purpose traffic simulation software for RTI assessment guaranteeing software portability, user-friendliness, various modelling capabilities, designed to use improved versions of already existing traffic simulation systems but enabled to integrate easily future simulators with new modelling capabilities. ASTERIX has developed a basic conceptual approach consisting of a System Shell that supplies a software environment interfacing the user, linking him to a multimodel transportation database and to traffic simulation systems like SATURN, CONTRAM, and SITRA-B, that work at different levels, in complementary scenarios, simulating different RTI systems. SATURN, CONTRAM, and SITRA-B have been deeply modified, or even newly coded, enabling them to model some of the new RTI systems envisaged by DRIVE.
