FreeSim
FreeSim is a fully-customizable macroscopic and microscopic
free-flow traffic simulator developed by Dr. Jeffrey Miller at the
University of Alaska, Anchorage, and as part of his Ph.D. dissertation
at the University of Southern California under
the advisement of Professor Ellis Horowitz.
FreeSim allows for multiple freeway systems to be easily represented
and loaded into the simulator as a graph data structure with edge weights determined by the current
speeds. Traffic and graph algorithms can be created and executed for the entire network or
for individual vehicles or nodes, and the traffic data used by the simulator can be user-generated or be
converted from real-time data gathered by a transportation organization. The vehicles in FreeSim
can communicate with the system monitoring the traffic on the freeways, which makes FreeSim ideal
for Intelligent Transportation System simulation. FreeSim is licensed under the
GNU General Public License, and the source code is available
for download. There is also a demo
of FreeSim that can be run through a browser.
