Popis: As the LRT introduction example is increasing in European and American countries, the tendency of the LRT introduction heightens even in Japan. However, because the road space is shared with the automobile, the effect on the auto traffic must be considered when the LRT is introduced. Therefore, they need to predict the change in the traffic flow and draft the appropriate plan by evaluating the effect accurately. The micro traffic simulation model is suitable for the reexamination of traffic planning with such LRT introduction. Then we developed the simulation model and ascertained the validity of using it through case studies.
