Abstract A discrete event approach is proposed to evaluate the performance and develop control strategies for a urban intermodal transportation network. The discrete event model presented integrates public and private means of transport. Some disturbances are included to model the stochastic nature of the system. Based on such a model, a urban traffic simulator (INTRANET) has been designed on purpose. INTRANET includes two major modules. The first one, the Traffic Simulation Kernel, allows to study the dynamic behaviour of the transportation system, analyzing its performances and applying control strategies to optimize them. The second one, the Passenger Information Service, gives the system users at any time updated information about the different intermodal paths between any pair of origin/destination nodes. A case study relevant to the transportation network of an Italian city is dealt with. Related experimental results, showing the effectiveness of the proposed control strategy, are presented and discussed.
