The purpose of this study is the development of a Traffic Simulation System on the NagoyaExpressway capable of predicting the future traffic conditions on the Nagoya Expressway forthe network as a whole. This study has been conducted by modeling the behavior of theindividual vehicle lanes in the various sections such as the road, junction, and tollgate sectionsas well as the alignment and structure of the road. Then this model has been confirmed thatthe results are roughly consistent by validation between predicted data and the measurementdata such as the congestion levels on the Nagoya Expressway. Furthermore, the simulationsystem has been used to predict the traffic conditions that would arise if intensive (all-at once)road construction works were carried out on the Nagoya Expressway. The findings suggestthat the system can be used for the development of preliminary measures.
