Traffic simulator

Abstract

A traffic simulator for simulating a traffic state with high accuracy. An attention object searching section (60) searches for an attention object to which a driver should pay attention when driving a car. A recognition attention object selecting section (64) and a driver recognition object selecting section (68) both select an attention object recognized by the driver from the attention objects searched for according to driver's ability information preset by a data creating section (13). A movement determining section (42) determines the movement of a vehicle model according to the selected attention object.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a traffic simulation device, in particular to a traffic simulation device which reproduces the behavior of vehicles on a computer and simulates traffic flow, congestion, accidents and other traffic conditions. Background technique [0002] When designing a road transportation system, it is important to evaluate in advance the effects of installing certain facilities such that traffic congestion will be less likely to occur. Therefore, in Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2, traffic simulators for reproducing the behavior of individual vehicles on a computer and simulating traffic conditions such as traffic flow, congestion, and occurrence of accidents are proposed. [0003] In this kind of traffic simulation device, objects that should be paid attention to when the vehicle is driving on the road, such as signals, vehicles ahead, and oncoming vehicles, which exist within a predetermined range from the position of the...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0007] However, in the simulation devices described in the above-mentioned patent documents, the ability of the driver driving each vehicle is not considered when simulating the traffic state, and there is a problem that the simulation cannot be performed with high accuracy.
