MULTPLAN: A Computer Simulation Model of a Multi-Lane Signal Controlled Road During the Transition Between Two Fixed-Time Signal-Plans

摘要

MULTPLAN is a computer program for the microscopic simulation of traffic in one direction on a multi-lane road which contains a linked system of up to six signalized intersections. The signalized intersections must be controlled by fixed-time signal plans but up to five changes of plan, using any one of four plan-change strategies, may be simulated. The program has been developed from MULTSIM, which was originally described by Gipps (1976). It has now been extensively validated and incorporates many improvements.
