The goal of these model-building exercises is to start from zero and create a complete traffic-network model with all the data you need to run a microscopic simulation.
• Base a model on a template and a background image.
• Build network elements including sections, nodes, lines, detectors, variable message signs (VMS), and public transport stops.
• Define the following key elements: a control plan for traffic lights, public transport lines and timetables, reserved lanes for buses, a traffic state, centroids, OD matrices, and traffic demand.
• Create a scenario and an experiment to use to run the simulation.
