This document describes part of the work conducted under MOU324, related to the studies of vehicle collisions in vehicle-following operations. The goal of the study is to conduct vehicle dynamics and control analysis and to explore display methods so that analytical results can be visualized....

As part of a project investigating the benefits of Intelligent Vehicle Highway Systems (IVHS) technology using simulation, two models of the Santa Monica Freeway in Los Angeles were developed. This report describes the work performed to create, test, and apply these simulations. Two independent...

PATH AVCSS researches have been traditionally oriented toward automatic vehicle design. Recently, the field of investigation has been extended from Automated Highway System (AHS) to assistance driving systems. One of the tools built at PATH for automatic system design and assessment is SmartAHS....

This project develops the environment for using the ATMIS simulation software developed under previous PATH projects (MOUs 39, 84, and 170) for real-time traffic simulation and scenario analysis with feedback from the real urban network. keywords: traffic simulation, databases, object-relation...

INCISIM is a computer program that simulates the occurrence of highway incidents, the dispatching of emergency vehicles, and the traffic flow on the network. INCISIM can represent multiple types of emergency vehicles, include highway patrol cars, freeway service patrol trucks, tow trucks...

This document describes part of the work conducted under MOU252 and MOU324, related to the studies of vehicle collisions in vehicle-following operations. This working paper is a detailed documentation of a computer program that is the core element of the simulation tools for vehicle collision...

This document constitutes a final report for MOU 39. It contains a User's Manual, Programmer's Guide, source code and underlying theory for the program MEDUSA. This program is capable of simulating both the normative driving dynamics and collision dynamics of an arbitrary number of vehicles. Its...
