Abstract

The paper investigates a special issue of the applied informatics. A VISSIM-MATLAB based closed loop simulation framework is presented. The application of the simulation environment may serve as a very efficient tool for development and test of road traffic control systems. The availability of these software, through COM and API programming, increase the facilities of the simulations. Therefore, it is possible to create such additional features which allow to design special traffic control logic. Furthermore, complex calculations may be done by MATLAB in real time during the run of the simulation.
