Population growth, motorization, urbanization and population density changes lead to increased traffic congestion in cities. This article studies the impact of road infrastructure development and the new residential and office buildings on road traffic from the area that includes both the road access to a major highway in Romania and the access in the largest university campus in Bucharest. The study of road traffic is a complex problem, difficult to analyze by analytical methods and therefore it is suitable for the computer simulation. Thus, in order to evaluate the performance and the impact of designing new infrastructures, to explore new alternatives of traffic organization on the existing infrastructure, we have developed a road simulation model using AIMSUN. The values of traffic measures of effectiveness (delays, travel times, speeds, queue lengths, number of stops) obtained by modelling the proposed scenarios provide a clear picture of the impact that the development of a road overpass and of new buildings will have on the traffic in the studied area.
