The article describes a flexible traffic simulation environment ARTIST (Advanced Research Tool for Indoor Simulation of Traffic) . The modeling and simulation styles are not hard-wired in the system, but can be expressed by the user. Thus, ARTIST can be used for a variety of simulation tasks, from the simulation of driver assistance systems to the lay-out of control strategies of traffic management systems. The architecture of the software will be described, together with some real-world applications. 472 0-7803-4269-0/97/$10.00 0 1998 IEEE
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
