A simulation tool for in-vehicle navigation systems evaluation

What is it about?

A generic macroscopic traffic simulation model-based evaluation tool for freeway networks equipped with in-vehicle navigation systems was proposed.

Why is it important?

The tool includes three modules: a freeway network traffic simulation module; an route recommendation generation module executing feedback dynamic traffic assignment to calculate splitting rate for in-vehicle navigation related bifurcation nodes; and a control benefits evaluation module providing useful output including link-level traffic states, splitting rates, route travel times, animated network condition map, and network performance indexes.
