Title: Application of Traffic Simulation Model on Route Planning
Abstract: Taiwan Provincial Highway 2 is the only transportation corridor between Tamsui and Taipei.During rush hours and holidays,the huge traffic volume often leads to low level of service(LOS).Therefore,it is an important issue to improve the LOS of the transportation corridor.Traditionally,there are many ways of route planning,including the manual approach,system analysis,market analysis project,and mathematical approach.However,these methods to the transportation corridor between Tamsui and Taipei.For this reason,this study based on traffic engineering to develop alternatives of route planning,such as new feature roads,road widening and partial overhead.This study constructs network by traffic simulation model VISSIM and calculates average travel time under such alternatives of route planning.The results serve as a good follow-up for further study assessed.
