Existence Verification of Macroscopic Fundamental Diagram (MFD) Based on Simulation Method
Macroscopic Fundamental Diagram (MFD) is proved to exist on simulated network.The simulation model of highway in Amsterdam,the Netherlands is set up based real data using VISSIM software.The existence verification of Macroscopic Fundamental Diagram (MFD) based simulation model is tested.Traffic network demand is determined by experiments in order that the whole development proceeding of traffic situation can be showed by the concept of MFD.The existence of MFD in the real traffic network is proved by calculating the key parameters.After the critical densities with different number of lanes are defined,the levels of congestion are also determined.The dynamic development of traffic congestion is expressed using MFD model based simulated data.
