Development and Application of Traffic Flow Models for Khartoum City

Abstract

The goal of this research is to model traffic flow in Khartoum City using four-step model (FSM): trip generation, trip distribution, modal choice and trip assignment. In the first stage, the trip production and attraction were determined .In the second step, the traffic flow distribution among zones was considered.
