Transportation Modeling and Simulation
• Transportation modeling is used to estimate travel patterns and demand and
comprises several mathematical equations to replicate or describe how people or
goods travel.
• The public and private sectors collaborate in the development and operation of the
different modes of transportation throughout the world.
• Modeling and Simulation provide and ideal tool to examine transportation.
• Modeling and Simulation offers cost effective way to assess different alternatives for
addressing transportation related problem.
• The result of modeling and simulation can be used to illustrate the effectiveness of
different alternatives to general public and the key stakeholders, allowing them to
make informed decision for the project.
The Main Types of traffic models are macroscopic,
mesoscopic and microscopic.
► Acquisition and system acceptance - This category generally contains questions and
answers related to purchasing and/or adopting a new system that might potentially improve
an organization's business processes.
► An acquisition is when one company purchases most or all of another company's shares to
gain control of that company. Purchasing more than 50% of a target firm's stock and other
assets allows the acquirer to make decisions about the newly acquired assets without the
approval of the company's other shareholders.
► Research - This entails the creation of artificial environments and their
simulation. The major goals of simulations in this area are to see how various or
many modifications to system components, as well as the behavior of a group
and/or an individual, affect system performance.
► Education and training - The simulations in this category are designed to help
students or trainees get a better grasp of and ability to apply business theories,
concepts, and processes.

Formal Modeling
► The formal methods model is an approach to software engineering that applies
mathematical methods or techniques to the process of developing complex
software systems.

Behavior Modeling
► In software engineering, behavioral model describe the overall behavior of the system. There are two types
of behavioral models that are used to describe the system behavior, one is data processing model and another
is state machine models.
-Data Flow
-Process
-Entity
-Data Store
State Diagram
State diagram is a dynamic model which
represents the changes of state that an object
goes through during the lifetime in response to
events. ► 1. Initial State
► 2. Final State
► 3. State
► 4. Transition
► 5. Event and Action
► 6. History State
► 7. Signal
► 8. Self Transition

relational data and hence covers social activities.
This approach may also be used to explain the
flow of information, the spread of infection, and
the identification of outliers within a group.
Quiz
1. Simulation models are based on the deterministic relationships of the flow, speed, and density of the
traffic stream.
2. These models simulate the movement and interactions of individual vehicles based on car-following,
lane-changing, and queue discharge algorithms.
3. Models combine the properties of both microscopic and macroscopic simulation models.
4. It is a modeling approach that analyzes the many relationships produced from statistical analysis of
relational data and hence covers social activities.
5. The simulations in this category are designed to help students or trainees get a better grasp of and ability
to apply business theories, concepts, and processes.
