Abstract(s)

This paper presents the Simulator of intelligent Transportation Systems (SITS). The SITS is based on a microscopic simulation approach to reproduce real traffic conditions, both in urban and non-urban networks, and considers different types of vehicles, drivers and roads. A dynamical analysis of several traffic phenomena is then addressed. The results of using classical system theory tools point out that it is possible to study traffic systems taking advantage on the knowledge gathered with automatic control algorithms. In this line of thought, it is also presented a new medelling formalism based on the embedding os statistics and Fourier transform.
