The need for better traffic control techniques has significantly increased during the past few years because of the rapidly increasing numbers of vehicles in American cities. A modeling method for traffic simulation is presented which promises to be a valuable tool for providing this needed control. This traffic simulation is somewhat different from the usual queueing theory approach in that traffic simulation is realized by stepping vehicles through the traffic network system in accordance with prespecified driver response criteria. A computer program was developed for this model in which systems programming techniques were employed to minimize memory and computer requirements. A new simulation language is described which is currently being used for expanding the traffic model to the general k interaction, n lane network system. (Author)
