Transport modeling is categorized into three levels: macro, meso, and micro. Macromodeling involves creating models at the country, city, or regional level. Mesomodeling focuses on detailed modeling of large networks, while micromodeling simulates interactions at the junction or street level.
Micromodeling is a powerful tool that accurately represents the transport infrastructure and the interaction of all road users. It enables unbiased determination of optimal solutions based on technical and operational indicators such as delay time, number of stops, queue length, average network speed, and intersection service level.
The main advantage of micromodeling is its ability to answer “What will happen if?” questions, allowing adjustments to the street and road network planning solution at the design stage and identifying bottlenecks to save investor costs.
Micromodeling offers quick scenario creation and easy collection of initial data, usually following standard engineering practices.
It provides effective visual presentation of results through video clips illustrating the movement of participants, facilitating the identification of bottlenecks and optimal solutions. Motion simulations and heat maps showcase differences between planning solutions beyond numerical values.
Micromodeling aids in environmental calculations, including emissions of harmful substances like CO2, contributing to climate change.
