We have developed a simulation-based learning environment to provide system designers and operators with an appreciation of the impact of incidents on traffic delay. Environments developed with SimPLE use dynamic simulations and visualizations to represent realistic time-dependent behavior and are coupled with guidance material and other software aids that facilitate learning. The simulation allows learners to close freeway lanes and divert traffic to an arterial road.
Users can see the effect of the detour on freeway and arterial delay.
Users can then adjust signal timing interactively on a time-space diagram and watch the effect of their adjustment on green band changes and on arterial delays and total delays. The Technical Reports system is currently experiencing difficulties, and reports are currently unavailable for downloading. Please check back in a few weeks.
