Traffic Simulation

The focus of this page is to identify and make available books, reports, articles, and guidelines useful in understanding highway and street simulation of traffic. The list is in no way exhaustive and does not cover other essential areas of Civil Engineering Traffic/Transportation areas, most notably the construction of roadways.

Traffic Analysis Tools

The Traffic Analysis Tools Program was formulated by FHWA in an attempt to strike a balance between efforts to develop new, improved tools in support of traffic operations analysis and efforts to facilitate the deployment and use of existing tools. FHWA has established two tracks under the Traffic Analysis Tools Program: the deployment track and the development track.

Deployment Track

This track concentrates on the needs and concerns of the traffic analysis stakeholder community:

Traffic Analysis Guidance
Volume I: Traffic Analysis Tools Primer
Volume II: Decision Support Methodology for Selecting Traffic Analysis Tools
Volume III: Guidelines for Applying Traffic Microsimulation Modeling Software
Volume V: Traffic Analysis Toolbox Case Studies – Benefits and Applications
Volume VI: Definition, Interpretation, and Calculation of Traffic Analysis Tools Measures of Effectiveness
Volume VIII: Work Zone Modeling and Simulation – A Guide for Decision-Makers
Volume IX: Work Zone Modeling and Simulation – A Guide for Analysts
Volume X: Localized Bottleneck Congestion Analysis Focusing on Analysis Tools
Volume XI: Weather and Traffic Analysis, Modeling and Simulation
Volume XII: Executive Summary
Volume XIII: Integrated Corridor Management Analysis
Volume XIV: Guidebook on the Utilization of Dynamic Traffic Assignment
