The roundabout micro-simulator based on the cellular automaton model

Abstract

The paper presents the developed roundabout simulator. A model, which is the engine for the simulator, was developed based on cellular automata. The author discusses the technology were used and demonstrated examples of the research results. Noteworthy is the fact that the developed simulator is very flexible, allowing conducting research in diameter roundabout, pedestrians on the roundabout, traffic of passengers cars and commercial vehicles, and also research change the rules of the road. In addition, the simulator allows traffic research in terms of weather conditions, e.g. rain, snow, which causes that braking distance increases and more accidents reaches.
