Road traffic engineering

[Hakimjo]

Hello - I am looking for software that will help me to visualize and analyze ROAD traffic data based on traffic counting (on real roads, not the internet) for simple multi-modal systems i.e. not entire networks but a simple crossroad or roundabout with several arms. Thanks for hints and suggestions. Joachim

Graphviz might help with visualization:

As Lars suggests, a network representation might help you visualize everything quite well... I use Cytoscape myself, but to analyze your data, you might want to look at doing some Flux Balance Analysis. The only software programs I know are for biochemical models but the math behind the concept doesn't care what your using it for and I don't see why they couldn't be analogous... I mean, an input rate is an input rate... an export rate is an export rate... metabolites/cars flow from one enzyme/roundabout to another and both can be controlled by signals... I'm using CellNetAnalyzer... can't hurt to try...
