During simulation, vehicles travel along the routes they are assigned. The real demand determined during volume balancing must be rounded, as individual vehicles move through the network during simulation. The rounding for all OD pairs and balancing time intervals is done with no demand lost.
The simulation uses a node-edge graph which is generated based on the defined network. For links, turns and connectors, the transport systems allowed must be defined. For nodes, the control type, control data and node topology must be specified.
The simulation is based on a simplified car following model. For lane selection, simplified assumptions are made based on the lanes and lane turns defined at the node.
