DEVELOPMENT AND TESTING OF INTRAS, A MICROSCOPIC FREEWAY SIMULATION MODEL, VOLUME 2: USER'S MANUAL

David Wicks, B J Andrews

Open publisher page 5 citations

Abstract

This series of volumes documents the work performed to adapt a freeway simulation model for studying freeway incidents. The resulting program, INTRAS (INtegrated TRAffic Simulation), is a vehicle-specific time-stepping simulation designed to realistically represent traffic and traffic control in a freeway and surrounding surface street environment. This volume describes the detailed procedures needed to apply the INTRAS Program to the study of traffic operations in a freeway environment. (FHWA)
