SIMULATION OF TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT SYSTEM USING AGENT BASED MODELING
Abstract
The rapid speed at which urban growth is proceeding is the primary cause of the increasing traffic congestion on city roads. Because of this, vehicles can be standing for a long time. Long-term standing affects the environment in the form of vehicle pollution, which causes human health issues related to breathing and delays in emergency situations such as accidents that may cause death. This study focuses on the use of traffic simulation in helping traffic engineers reduce congestion, in particular by use of high occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes. Traffic congestion is a major problem, and with the volume of traffic increasing at a steady rate, it is set to get worse. There are many schemes for reducing congestion; one is the use of HOV lanes, which are now being introduced on congested roads.
