Abstract

In order to test the capability of different simulation techniques, two computer simulation programs, NETCELL and VISSIM, are applied in a case study of congested traffic flow on freeway. It is shown that NETCELL is preferable to VISSIM for the purpose of short-time prediction and congestion warning.
