Summary of GEIPOT study results.

The Model for Simulating Traffic (MST) is one of the products of the Research on the Interrelationships Between Costs of Highway Construction, Maintenance and Utiliiation (PICR). The Model simulates traffic flow on two-lane highway sections of any vertical and horizontal alignment complexity. This makes it possible to evaluate the impact of transportation policies and strategies, such as construction of a third (climbing) lane, construction of a highway intersection, or the introduction of new transportation technologies. The MST also makes it possible to compute travel times, operating speeds, fuel consumption and other data that can be used by the transportation planner in analyzing the effects of transportation policies and strategies.
