“…TransModeler is a microscopic simulation platform developed by Caliper for the study of traffic planning, traffic management, and emergency evacuation, etc. As a complement to their macroscopic traffic simulation software TransCAD, it can display animations of traffic flow, traffic lights, and the overall operation of a traffic network [33][34][35][36][37]. TransModeler also supports being combined with GIS to process and manage spatial geographical data such as road networks, and it can also display traffic statuses on a GIS-T graphical interface.…”

This paper presents the system development of a co-simulation platform aimed at studying driving behavior with multiple participants. The objective of this study was to create an immersive and interactive environment where different driving scenarios could be simulated and driver behavior could be recorded and analyzed. The platform integrated the Unity game engine with the VISSIM microscopic traffic simulator to create a hybrid simulation environment that combined the advantages of both tools. A virtual reality massive multiplayer online (VRMMO) module was developed to capture the interactions of the participants during the simulation experiments. The external control devices of this co-simulation platform were calibrated using the empirical data of a Controller Area Network (CAN-BUS) from actual driving behaviors. The main contributions of this study are the demonstration of the Unity–VISSIM co-simulation platform in simulating interactive driver behavior and the potential for its use in various research areas, such as intelligent transportation systems, human factors, driving education, and traffic safety analyses. The platform could be a valuable tool for evaluating the effectiveness of collective intelligence countermeasures in improving traffic systems, with relatively lower costs and risks.

“…Simulation-based DTA has more detailed modeling abilities by capturing individual drivers' behaviors and the sophisticated interactions between the demand and supply, and therefore has been applied more frequently in real-world traffic systems to evaluate network performance, including flow, density, speed, travel time, and queues. There are numerous examples of successful adoption of simulation-based DTA for traffic planning (see, e.g., Ben-Akiva et al, 2007;Rathi et al, 2008;Balakrishna et al, , 2009Sundaram et al, 2011;Florian et al, 2001;Barcelo and Casas, 2006;Ziliaskopoulos et al, http://dx.doi.org/10.1016Ziliaskopoulos et al, http://dx.doi.org/10. /j.trc.2014.006 0968-090X/Ó 2014 Elsevier Ltd.
