Simulation Methodology

  • Currently, VISSIM 11 has been released and has AV/CAV

simulation capabilities.

  • The research team will use VISSIM 10 with dynamic link

library (DLL compiled by C++) for car-following, lane changing, and communication.

  • The two external driving modules have been widely

used in VISSIM; COM interface and Driverbehavior.dll.

– The COM script is able to access all data inside VISSIM, but it cannot explicitly control the lateral movement. Therefore, only desired lane changes rather than direct lane changes can be performed.
