Applicable to area-wide policy evaluation in a road network scale of several kilometers to several hundred kilometers.
The wide-area road network traffic flow simulation system "SOUND" is a commercial software package based on research conducted at the University of Tokyo's Institute of Industrial Science, featuring input data creation functions, animation functions, and result display functions. In the latest version 5, the street network traffic flow simulation system "AVENUE" and the user interface have been unified, making it more user-friendly. It is useful for evaluating area-wide policy measures and environmental impact assessments on an urban scale.
