Why is TrafficPeak even a thing?

 

The simple truth is, because I it possible.

BiblioCave is a 2D object oriented engine, and I had an idea, an architecture, I wanted to test, but could not find a tool suitable for my needs, so i made one. 

 

TrafficPeak is different than other standard traffic engineering models, since it is not designed for flow engineering and vast nets, but testing traffic jams as a result of local architecture.

 

Most simulators use differential equations for traffic behavior and sims follow the leader in a pre-determined path and rout. 

This exactly what is not happening in TrafficPeak. Here, each sim is an individual, not following equation, but a set of decision making rules, such as the speed of lane is not constant, sims can select +- 5km/h. sims have random chance taking divergence, and decide when to go or yield.
This makes it more human like behavior simulator, thus makes jams possible.
The paradigm is not a perfect flow optimization, but testing when and why the system fails.

 

One unique feature is the layers structure. User can build in up to 15 layers, move items between them and connect them using ramps. This means You can simulate underground rout under the road, and complex highway interchanges with ease. 

This is not perfect no bug simulator, you will see some pileups happening, and jogs, but overall, it is pretty good. 

You can run simulation in BiblioCave, but can also Export it (the export files are auto generated on rendering) to smart MP4 (zooms to POI), excel file for raw data collected, pdf with the model assumptions and parameters. The simulation file is a real files saved in database and can be viewed on demand in the viewer.
