AGENT-BASED ROAD TRANSPORTATION MODELING AND SIMULATION METHOD AND SYSTEM
First Claim
1. An agent-based road transportation modeling and simulation method, said method comprising:
- defining an object to maintain a representation of a simulation of a vehicle and thereafter measure a distance along a simulated road path from one end of a simulated road section thereof having a plurality of lanes without a merge and a split point in a middle of said simulated road section;
defining a lane collection object to hold said defined object on a particular lane of said plurality of lanes within said simulated road section, a road section collection object to maintain said lane collection object on a particular simulated road section, and a road network collection object to maintain said road section collection on a particular simulated road network; and
defining insert, remove and other functions to conduct a lane switch and/or other operation and therefore analyze and assess traffic congestion and conditions with respect to said simulated road section.

Abstract
Methods, systems and processor-readable media for collecting vehicle data utilizing an agent-based road transportation modeling and simulation. An object can be defined to hold a vehicle and a distance can be measured along a road path from one end of a road section having a constant number of lanes and no merge and split point in the middle. A collection object can be defined to hold the defined object on a particular lane within one section of the road. A collection object can be defined to hold the above defined collection objects of one lane on a particular road section. Finally, A collection object can be defined to hold the above defined collection objects of one road section. Insert, remove and other functions can be defined to conduct a lane switch and/or other operation.
