Abstract

In this paper, we build a microscopic simulator of traffic flow in a three-modal transport society for pedestrians/slow vehicles/vehicles (P/SV/V) to evaluate a post P/V society. The simulator assumes that the SV includes bicycles and micro electric vehicles, whose speed is strictly and mechanically limited up to 30 km/h. In addition, this simulator adopts an SV overtaking model. Modal shifts caused by modal diversity requires new valuation indexes. The simulator has a significant feature of a traveler-based traffic demand simulation not a vehicle-based traffic demand simulation as well as new evaluation indexes. New assessment taking this situation into account is conducted and the results explain new aspects of traffic flow in a three-mode transport society.
