The intent of this study is to develop a simulation model by means of which the traffic flow pattern of an urban road network can be duplicated in a computer. Control procedures are also considered which could be used in the context of an integrated traffic control system. The model enables the traffic engineer to measure the quality of a traffic flow pattern in terms of the cost effectiveness of various control devices. The model takes traffic lights, bus routes, parking and detours into account. A series of existing simulation models were evaluated for possible inclusion in an integrated traffic control system. In designing the computer program emphasis was given to the development of a data structure which would minimize storage space.
