Implementation of a novel distributed traffic light scheduling strategy in a large scale urban traffic network simulated by VISSIM

This report presents a large scale urban traffic simulation model that was based on Jurong East and Jurong West areas of the Jurong Lake District. PTV VISSIM, a microscopic, time-step oriented and behaviour-based simulation program, was the chosen simulation program in which the traffic simulatio...
