Micro analysis of traffic

With the traffic micro-simulation program Paramics, Transport & Mobility Leuven has at its disposal a detailed and flexible tool to examine the influence of changes in infrastructure and/or traffic management on traffic flow.

We also developed the LTM (Link Transmission Model) that provides us with a tool to analyse the traffic flows in detail.
