Junction turning ratios route planner module for TRANSIMS

Abstract

The paper presents Junction Turning Ratios Route Planner (JTRRouter) for TRANSIMS that enables to generate fast route plans for vehicles on the basis of traffic measurements conducted at intersections. First, TRANSIMS system was introduced. Afterwards a general design, functionality, and requirements of JTRRouter were described. The authors presented a sketch of the route planning algorithm and discussed its computational complexity. In order to illustrate the most essential capabilities of the module, the authors presented an example of route planning for a fragment of a real urban network.
