TRAFFIC-FLOW SIMULATION APPARATUS, TRAFFIC-FLOW SIMULATION PROGRAM, AND TRAFFIC-FLOW SIMULATION METHOD

摘要

An automobile driving simulation unit (84) simulates the driving of an automobile model that simulates an automobile, in a road-network model that simulates a road network comprising a plurality of roads and intersections linking the roads with each other, and a public-transportation-system driving simulation unit (88) simulates the driving of a streetcar transportation system model that simulates a streetcar transportation system, in a route network model that simulates the routes of the streetcar transportation system. A crossing-gate model simulates crossing gates that are provided at places where the roads and the routes of the streetcar transportation system intersect with each other, and that temporarily shut off driving of automo-biles at an intersecting place when a streetcar transportation system is to drive through the intersecting place. The crossing-gate model is activated by a shut-off simulation unit (90).
