Discrete Event Simulation of Driver's Routing Behavior Rule at a Road Intersection
Several factors influence traffic congestion and overall traffic dynamics.
Simulation modeling has been utilized to understand the traffic performance
parameters during traffic congestions. This paper focuses on driver behavior of
route selection by differentiating three distinguishable decisions, which are
shortest distance routing, shortest time routing and less crowded road routing.
This research generated 864 different scenarios to capture various traffic
dynamics under collective driving behavior of route selection. Factors such as
vehicle arrival rate, behaviors at system boundary and traffic light phasing
were considered. The simulation results revealed that shortest time routing
scenario offered the best solution considering all forms of interactions among
the factors. Overall, this routing behavior reduces traffic wait time and total
time (by 69.5% and 65.72%) compared to shortest distance routing
