Abstract

This study aims to simulate the traffic conditions in the Business area. In order to analyze and solve problems in the future. This project selected a study area as a economic area of Bangkok by choosing from a number of employment and income. The model analyzed 12 intersections in the area. A traffic simulation software, VISSIM was used. The model was calibrated using the number of vehicles, queuing length and the travel time delay Benefits of this study is to be a tool in traffic simulation for testing various effects from the various conditions, such as road closed or traffic signal retiming, which leads to ways to improve traffic efficiency.
