METHOD AND DEVICE FOR SIMULATING TRAFFIC

摘要

The invention concerns the simulation of vehicle traffic along one or several paths. It is a method and device for the simulation of traffic in which an electrical analogy is used. Each section of track is represented by a capacitor. The number of vehicles in a section is represented by the charge of the capacitor, the density in a section is represented by the voltage on the capacitor, the flow in a section is represented by the current from one capacitor to the next. The invention is used, in a preferred application, for studying road traffic movements.
