Research on using the Tecnomatix Plant Simulation for simulation and visualization of traffic processes at the traffic node

Simulation software Tecnomatix Plant Simulation was originally created for a modelling and subsequent simulation of production and logistics processes. Its variability, however, opens its use also in other areas such as transport in urban agglomerations. Based on that, research was implemented to verify the program's application in urban transport, specifically to visualize and simulate traffic processes at the traffic node. The paper describes a methodology which made it possible to create a simulation program for traffic light intersections, and presents examples of the simulation model application. The proposed methodology will enable the application of Tecnomatix Plant Simulation to create a complex simulation model of the logistics process. It will mainly enable to simulate the field of production logistics and city logistics within one simulation model.Kultúrna a Edukacná Grantová Agentúra MŠVVaŠ SR, KEGA: 005TUKE-4/2022, 018TUKE-4/2022, 313011T567, APVV-21-0195, IGA/FLKŘ/2022/001, RVO/FLKŘ/2022/0
