DEVELOPMENT AND TESTING OF INTRAS, A MICROSCOPIC FREEWAY SIMULATION MODEL. VOLUME II. FREEWAY MICRO-SIMULATION COMPONENT MODEL DEVELOPMENT

The series of volumes documents the work performed to adopt a freeway simulation model for studying freeway incidents. The resulting program, INTRA (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 documents the development of the simulation components which model the car-following, lane-changing and vehicle generation aspects of freeway traffic.
