| Abstract | Microscopic Traffic simulation is very eminent amongst the Transport planning as it is vital to study about the real - world traffic phenomenon in a more detailed and precise way. Nowadays many transportation and academic institutes deal with traffic microscopic simulation as a too l to study traffic management. This study develops a microscopic traffic simulation model for freeways in Bangkok using TransModeler 4.0, as there is no microscopic simulation model for the freeways in Bangkok. Included freeways to the study are Chalom Maha Nakhon Expressway , Si Rat Expressway , Chalong Rat Expressway , Udon Ratthaya Expressway, Bhuraphavithi Expressway, and Bang Phli Suk Sawat Expressway (South Kanchanapisek Ring road) . Data collection was done by extracting the CCTV videos taken by Expressway Authority of Thailand(EXAT) and from Easy Pass Authority data. Performance indicators like overall trip statistics and segment statistics by group are presented. Level of Service study of the freeway system of Bangkok is presented graphically . Model demonstrated that when the demand increase run time, completed trips, incompleted trips and average delay increases. Also, model demonstrated that when the demand increases the average speed decreases. Comparisons of simulated and field obtained flow rates are presented. |
