Recent research papers have confirmed that traffic simulation can identify near crashes events and establish a good base for the estimation of real crashes risk. The objective of this paper is to present the new features of a microsimulation model originally developed to estimate road safety performance. The presented microsimulator has many new features that can be useful to engineers and researchers such as: - Dynamic calculation of traffic and road safety indicators. - Simulation of satellite location data obtained by GPS and smartphones. - Simulation of adaptive traffic lights activated by FCD data. - 20 different acoustic emission models. - Possibility of taking into account "instrumented" vehicles to assess new Intelligent Transportation System performances. The paper describes the above listed new features of TRITONE that combined with the calculation of road safety indicators evaluations allow planners to benefit from the availability of a useful and innovative tool for traffic simulation.
