Abstract / Excerpt:

Traffic simulation through software application can be a medium to better help, plan, design, operate and implement transportation systems. It involves movements of cars to different roads and intersections in accordance with the sequential flow of the traffic lights. Sequential flow of traffic lights involves a holistic approach in algorithms in which it involves order and efficiency. Traffic simulations are not new to us since it already exists for almost forty years. The only thing that is interesting and beneficial in this simulation is its innovation throughout the years in terms of functions and environment.

The study is all about traffic simulator in MacArthur Highway -- Sandawa Road Intersection. The simulator will be implemented in Visual Studio 2010 C# programming language with Microsoft XNA 4.0 libraries. The traffic simulation will simulate traffic flow and motion of cars based from data gathered and collected from the TMC. The study is limited in simulating the traffic flow along MacArthur Highway -- Sandawa Road Intersection and will not show and display alternative routes and shortest paths. Instead, it will predict and simulate the data applied to the road of MacArthur Highway -- Sandawa Road Intersection.
