FLEXSYT : a case study with a real-life Hungarian example

In this report a general description of the computer program FLEXible-traffic-network-Simulation-studY-Tool (FLEXSYT) is given. It is a computer program for traffic management studies and simulates traffic on a microscopic scale. On a stochastic base vehicles move through the network and travel times are calculated. In this way it is possible to do research on the structure of the network, such as the lay-out of intersections, length and number of lanes, effects of bus lanes etc., and on traffic control alternatives, like the fixed-time control strategy, vehicle-actuated control strategies, traffic-depended control strategies etc. Furthermore a description is presented of the flexible network traffic control language known as FLEXCOL-76. Input and output datasets for Budapest are listed.
