A SIMULATION API FOR TRAFFIC MODELING

This document describes an application programming library for constructing the dynamic pieces of a traffic simulation. It is meant to complement a complete traffic modeling tool set that includes data import and export capabilities, traffic routing algorithms and visualization tools. This software library provides an abstract framework for constructing event driven models of traffic dynamics. The software is based on the DEVS modeling and simulation framework, and will be implemented using adevs discrete event simulation package. click here to continue reading

This map further illustrate what the simulation software will be used to simulate. It will used to detect how student travel from one location to another, better yet from home to school and back. The red dots are nodes that illustrate intersections, the black line is the bus route that is being used to detect movement and the blue lines are regular city streets.

My name is Kenroy Williamson and I am a senior Computer Information Systems major with a minor in Business Administration at Florida A & M University. This summer I participated in the Research Alliance for Math and Science (RAMS) program at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. My 11 weeks internship was in Modeling and Simulation in which I worked with mentor, Dr. Jim Nutaro to develop a software library for constructing the dynamic pieces of a traffic simulation.
