Abstract

In recent years, in line with the greater use of automobiles, traffic congestions have frequently occurred on city streets and on highways due to the effects of increases in traffic volume, the greater complication of the road system, the operational mistakes of drivers, etc. This has been taken up as a serious traffic problem. In order to discuss methods of solving this problem, research and developmental work on traffic flow simulators by computer is being carried out. However, the dynamics of vehicles and their driver’s characteristics, which are important factors for any traffic flow analysis, have not been considered sufficiently enough in the past. In this study, we propose, as an intermediate model between macroscopic models and microscopic ones, an analytical technique based on multiagent, which allows for the consideration of the driver characteristics, vehicle dynamics in complex traffic flow as shown in Fig. 1.
