The Study of Traffic Simulation System Based on B/S Pattern

Traffic simulation is now widely accepted as one of the most appropriate analytical methods for understanding traffic capacity and for assessing the effectiveness of traffic amends. This paper studied the architecture of several pieces of popular simulation software, compared the stand-alone pattern with B/S (Browser/Server) pattern, analysed the increasing need to improve traffic simulation software by changing the stand-alone pattern, then presented a suitable architecture to realize B/S pattern for traffic simulation software, and had successfully built the Traffic Simulation WebGIS System which was based on WebGIS technology and .Net Framework. This system makes full use of WebGIS and traffic simulation technologies which can best meet traffic management needs. Users can visit the system and use the traffic simulation functions offered by remote servers through the Internet by browsers anywhere without having to install any special software on their compter or mobile machines.
