We all know how frustrating it is to be stuck in traffic. The DynaMel Traffic Simulator is a tool that can help us to relieve some of that frustration by allowing us to see how proposed changes to the Melbourne road network might impact traffic flow.
The DynaMel Traffic Simulator was developed by Dr Neil Anderson and his team at RMIT University. It is the most sophisticated network traffic simulator available in Australia, and has been used by a number of state and federal government agencies, as well as private companies, to assess the impacts of proposed changes to the road network.
The DynaMel Traffic Simulator works by simulating the movements of vehicles around the Melbourne road network. It takes into account a range of factors including traffic density, road geometry, speed limits, and Signal Priority (SP) settings. The simulator produces a number of outputs which can be used to assess the impacts of proposed changes to the road network. These outputs include travel times, average speeds, and queue lengths.
The DynaMel Traffic Simulator is a valuable tool for transport planners and engineers who are working on improving the efficiency of the Melbourne road network. It can be used to assess the impacts of proposed changes before they are implemented, and can help to avoid delays and disruptions caused by poorly-designed changes.
