Key milestone was a transformation from closed source to open source project. - FFramework for The Generation of Realistic Traffic Simulation Using PostGisFeb 2011 - Jun 2011 (5 months)As the number of vehicles is increasing, planning all traffic scheme is becoming very challenging. It is very important to ensure that network of the roads would be optimised in a sense of money saving as much as possible. It would be very helpful for engineers, to have data, which could show how the vehicles would move on given map. So, there is a need of GPS data, based on real-world vehicles behaviour.
This traffic simulator tool could be useful to simulate vehicles traffic on any map, even the one, which does not exist in real world, for example, planning new city’s infrastructure, in that case traffic simulator tool is especially important in sense of saving the money.
