See a city network beside live traffic analysis

A current full-workspace recording of Traffic Flow Lab. Watch the built-in city network in the daylight 3D presentation beside its network controls and live operational metrics. The example shows congestion and review warnings; project use requires calibrated inputs and engineering review.

  1. See the current daylight street workspace with the complete city network, controls and operational metrics visible together.
  2. Inspect the running demonstration's congestion, speed, delay and throughput. The example and its warnings require calibration and review before project use.

    Build or import the road network.

  2. 02

    Configure demand, vehicle behavior and traffic controls.

  3. 03

    Inspect queues, delay and throughput.

  4. 04

    Compare alternatives and review supported outputs.

Before you use the results

Calibrate demand and vehicle behavior to the project. Interpret simulation metrics within the selected model and transport methodology.
