AReViRoad: a virtual reality tool for traffic simulation

Abstract

This paper will introduce AReViRoad, a virtual reality tool and a traffic road simulator that enables one to determine the impact of the road network on traffic fluidity. The traffic generation is based on a multi-agent system in which each vehicle (an entity) is a software agent with its own behavior (autonomous). This solution offers a credible traffic road that will be used for testing a road network. With a set of given tools one can create one’s own road network. Thereafter, one can configure one’s own simulation (number of vehicles, tested road network, flow of car generators) and then launch, observe and analyze it with dedicated tools, such as a 3D view, flow meter and timer.
