Abstract
This article deals with a proposal of using the Polcam PC2006 device for obtaining the traffic flow characteristics. This device is a first of a kind at the University of Zilina. The aim was to perform a practical measurement with a floating vehicle on a selected road section I/18 Zilina - Strecno - Vrutky, evaluate basic characteristics of a traffic flow with consequent modelling and use of software tools. Three measurements were performed in road traffic under different conditions. Individual calculations based on data obtained from practical measurements are processed at the end of the article. The results obtained from the measurement are used for traffic flow modelling in the programme Aimsun.
Highlights
Traffic modelling using software equipment presents a forceful working method in traffic engineering area
Loading of traffic model was done based on a practical measurement performed by the floating vehicle, equipped with the Polcam device
Intensity Individual intensities, evaluated by the traffic model, copy the intensities obtained by a practical measurement, which shows that the respective traffic model mirrors the real conditions on the road
Summary
Traffic modelling using software equipment presents a forceful working method in traffic engineering area. Traffic flow simulation models were created as a tool for theoretical study of different factors of analysed values of basic traffic characteristics. Specialised software products are being used presently for traffic problems solving, as these have excessive possibilities of simulations and settings. They enable us to simulate numerous scenarios of traffic infrastructure in short time period. By using the simulation it is possible to model current and future statuses of traffic for the respective traffic flow [1]
