This paper presents recent developments of the dynamic traffic simulation model METROPOLIS. This tool is based primarily on the modeling and analysis of information learning and processing by road users. This simulation tool depicts the morning peak commute in large urban areas. Route choice and...

This paper extends research in dynamic traffic modeling using METROPOLIS, a dynamic simulation tool. We briefly present an overview of the original departure time choice model introduces by W. Vickrey (1969) for a single O-D pair. Using this framework for our analysis, we explore how the...

METROPOLIS proposes an interactive environment which simulates automobile traffic in large urban areas. The core of the system is a dynamic simulator ehich integrates commuters' departure time and route choice behavirs over large networks: Drivers are assumed to minimize a generalized travel...
