Ali-Scout is a dynamic route guidance system with an In-Vehicle Unit (IVU) that receives routing information from a Traffic Operations Center when passing infixed communication beacons installed at strategic intersections. In this document, we present and discuss the results of the evaluation of Ali-Scout using traffic modeling and simulation under a variety of scenarios. Section 2 describes the functional elements of the Ali-Scout system. Section 3 gives an overview of the simulation model. Section 4 includes a description of the simulation scope and the main simulation modules developed to represent the Ali-Scout router and guidance components. Section 5 describes the background traffic model used in simulation. In Section 6, we present and discuss the results of the Ali-Scout simulation runs. Section 7 concludes the report by summarizing the major results and providing insights as to the potential benefits of such a route guidance system.
