TLDR
The simulator is a component of a larger system for evaluating traffic management systems and interacts with a surveillance module that can represent a wide variety of sensors and a traffic management module which sets traffic signals and signs, routing recommendations, etc.Abstract:
A MIcroscopic Traffic SIMulator (MITSIM) has been developed for modeling traffic networks with advanced traffic control, route guidance and surveillance systems. MITSIM represents networks in detail and simulates individual vehicle movements using car following, lane changing, and traffic signal responding logic. A probabilistic route choice model is used to capture drivers' route choice decisions in the presence of real time traffic information provided by route guidance systems. The simulator is a component of a larger system for evaluating traffic management systems and interacts with a surveillance module that can represent a wide variety of sensors (e.g. loop detectors, area sensors, probe vehicles, etc.) and a traffic management module which sets traffic signals and signs, routing recommendations, etc. MITSIM is coded in C+ + using object-oriented design and supports distributed implementation. It includes a graphical user interface for animating vehicle movements in the network and displaying aggregate traffic information such as speed and density.read more

Marginal Cost Pricing with a Fixed Error Factor in Traffic Networks
TL;DR: It is proved that under-estimating MCT results in a system performance that is at least as good as that obtained by not applying tolls at all, which might encourage adoption of MCT schemes with conservative MCT estimations.

A model for the structure of lane-changing decisions
TL;DR: A structure is proposed to connect the decisions which a driver has to make before changing lanes to ensure that the vehicles in traffic simulations behave logically when confronted with situations commonly encountered in real traffic.

A probabilistic multipath traffic assignment model which obviates path enumeration
TL;DR: A probabilistic assignment model that attempts to circumvent path enumeration, in such a way that the resulting effect is identical to what would have been obtained if each path had been assigned trips separately under certain choice probability assumptions.
