Abstract

This study develops AVENUE (an Advanced and Visual Evaluator for road Networks in Urban arEas). AVENUE incorporates a driver's route choice model and a traffic flow model that can reproduce over-saturated network conditions as well as under-saturated ones. The development of AVENUE is based on object-oriented programming which affords flexible modifications to users' requirements and graphical environment for easy operations. This model was validated through an application to the Kinshicho area in Tokyo.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
