A road traffic simulation apparatus

摘要

A technique for simulating natural behaviors of moving objects (30) is provided. A road traffic simulation apparatus includes a simulation unit (14) for performing a traffic simulation, a display unit (16) for displaying a progress status of the traffic simulation and a control unit (12) for controlling the simulation unit (14). The simulation unit (14) has a traffic environment database (20) and a moving object model (30). The moving object model (30) has a driver model (32) in which a driving operation of a driver is modeled and a vehicle dynamics model in which a vehicle behavior is modeled. The driver model (32) performs different processes in parallel in respective different cycles. The results of each cycle process are integrated and output to the vehicle dynamics model (34).
