The Purpose of VEDENS

The VEDENS model differs substantially from most models which have been reported in the literature. There are other, supercomputer-based applications in existence, which model fairly complex networks, traffic signals and census (monitoring) devices. The thrust of these models is in the field of traffic management applications. VEDENS focuses on a detailed scientific understanding of various phenomena, with the intention of defining outcomes in terms of known conditions. By understanding phenomena at the most basic level it will be possible to propose generic rules for design, control and development.
