Abstract
Two digital computer simulation models of traffic operation and control have been developed -- a microscopic single, signalized intersection model, and a macroscopic signalized intersection network model. The paper describes the general features of the simulation models, presents summary data pertaining to the validity of the models, and briefly reviews research results from studies of traffic signal system operation made with the models.
