TRAFFIC SIMULATION TRAFFIC SYSTEM USING SIMEVENTS MATLAB

Abstract

Road traffic is a supporting medium that is essential to various means of land
transportation that connect various locations and even large cities. Smooth traffic is a
good parameter of the management of a city, also as a sign to determine the
technological and economic development in the city. As the rate of civilization grows, as
well as the number of people, the road traffic becomes more crowded, so that, congestion
occurs to an alarming level. The solution to breaking down the congestion problem is by
applying some methods and traffic engineering. However, implementing some methods
and traffic engineering without proper planning, will lead to high costs and less optimal
results.
In this article we proposed a traffic simulation system called as "LINTAS", as a
tool in trying to decipher the traffic jam. The exact method and traffic engineering, before
it is tested in a real way, is first simulated through the LINTAS system, so that it can be
known its effectiveness. LINTAS are built using the SimEvents toolbox and run on
MATLAB-Simulink software. The LINTAS simulator is performed based on the
mathematical sciences, especially the field of queueing theory.
