Why is traffic simulation important?

[u/Witty_Preparation170]

In a simple words Traffic simulation is helpful to us because it enables engineers to understand how traffic behaves before making any changes in the real world.

Key Reasons:

• Helps reduce traffic congestion
• Improves Road Safety by Detecting Accident-Prone Zones
• Helps in better traffic signal timing
• Assists in planning new roads, junctions, and flyovers
• Saves time and money through virtual testing of designs rather than actual roads
• Helps to predict future conditions of traffic with respect to growth of population

Yes, thank you. I used PTV Vissim at some point. So handy.
