| Abstract |
The article will present the usage of AIMSUN software for modeling of urban traffic at busy intersections in Sofia. Results from a case study concerning influence of tram stops on traffic will also be presented. The case study is aimed at modeling of four connected intersections that are controlled by traffic lights along Shipchenski prohod Blvd. in Sofia, Bulgaria. The hypothesis is that tram stops will affect traffic in a negative manner. However, it is more valuable to detect the extent of this influence as this may serve for the purposes of authority for making inform decisions about time tables of trams. The possibilities of AIMSUN software suit to measure various traffic indicators as well as indicators about the fuel consumption and air pollution were utilized in this study |
