This abstract describes the design and application of a traffic simulator constructed and developed in Manchester, England, in the early/mid 1960s. This simulator has a time quantum of 1/3 sec., with 50 x speedup, slow, and stop facilities. Queue-length maximum was set at 64, and the maximum mean delivery rate in a single lane 1300 veh/hr. Queuing is simulated by counters, street by shift registers, and intersection logic by normal computer circuits. The power is derived by random generator design.
