Road traffic simulation apparatus
First Claim
1. A computer implemented road traffic simulation apparatus representing a plurality of mobile units and traffic environments on a computer for simulating traffic situations in association with the mobile units, comprising:
- a mobile unit model including a driver model, a model of driving operations by a virtual driver, and a vehicle dynamics model, a model of physical behavior of each mobile unit; and
a traffic environment database providing traffic environment, wherein a plurality of said mobile units are programmed to travel independently to each other in the traffic environment generated on the computer based on the data provided by the database.

Abstract
In a road traffic simulation apparatus that expresses a plurality of mobile units and road traffic environments on a computer to simulate traffic situations in association with a plurality of mobile units, each of the mobile units is expressed by a combination of a driver model, a model of driving operations of a virtual driver, and a vehicle dynamics model, a model of physical behaviors of a mobile unit. The mobile units are programmed to travel independently to each other in a road traffic environment that is expressed on the computer.

11. A computer readable medium storing a road traffic simulation program that is configured to represent a plurality of mobile units and road traffic environments on a computer, when executed on the computer, said program performing:
-
representing a plurality of mobile units, each mobile unit being represented by a driver model of driving operations by a virtual driver and a vehicle dynamics model of a physical behavior of each mobile unit;
simulating traffic situations in association with the mobile units, wherein the mobile units travel independently to each other in a road traffic environment that is expressed on the computer.
