Formation of recommendations for the selection of types of connections for different types of crossroads based on the generalized imitation model

Abstract

The paper deals with the issues of the transport network imitation modeling. Preliminary the authors analyzed the main modeling systems, which include Aimsun, MATSim, Anylogic, PTV VISUM and others. All these instrumental tools have the ability to form an arbitrary structure of the transport network. The research showed, however, for the small sections of the street road network (SRN), such as the crossroad, the Anylogic system is more efficient and makes it possible to parameterize the model, which can be used to model various structures of the crossroad. In this regard, the paper proposes a generalized model of the crossroad and, based on its modeling, gives recommendations for choosing the type of crossroads at different intensities of traffic flows.
