Road Traffic Library
With the AnyLogic Road Traffic Library, you can recreate road traffic systems and see how vehicles behave under different conditions. Use traffic simulation to model streets, junctions, highways, parking zones, and public transport stops, test design choices, uncover congestion, and improve traffic flow.
Optimize Roads With Traffic Simulation Software
Use the Road Traffic Library to test road networks, analyze vehicle behavior, and make better planning decisions before implementing changes in the real world.
Traffic Simulation in Action
Use the Road Traffic Library to turn real road networks into working traffic simulation models in AnyLogic. Build streets, intersections, roundabouts, parking areas, and vehicle behavior in 2D, then visualize traffic flow and interactions in 3D.
What Can You Do With RoadTraffic Simulation?
The Road Traffic Library helps you test road designs, traffic controls, and vehicle behavior across different real-world scenarios before making changes.
Test city streets, highways, and lane configurations to improve traffic flow before real-world changes.
Compare design and control options for intersections, roundabouts, and crossings to reduce delays and congestion.
Adjust traffic light schedules and control logic to analyze how changes affect queues and throughput.
Model parking areas, drop-off zones, and vehicle checkpoints to prevent bottlenecks.
Simulate bus stops, shuttle areas, and shared road space to keep vehicles moving smoothly.
Combine road traffic with pedestrian and rail operations to analyze complex transport networks.
Why AnyLogic as Traffic Simulation Software?
AnyLogic combines road traffic simulation, GIS mapping, different transport types and their interactions, and customizable vehicle behavior in one flexible simulation software platform.

FAQs About Road Simulation Software
Road traffic simulation software helps you model how vehicles move through roads, intersections, highways, parking areas, and transport facilities to test traffic flow under different conditions before making real-world changes.
The AnyLogic Road Traffic Library is used to build road network models, simulate vehicle behavior, test traffic controls, analyze congestion, and evaluate how different conditions affect road system performance.
Yes, you can model intersections, roundabouts, crossings, and traffic light schedules. Vehicles can accelerate, slow down, change lanes, stop, merge, and react to surrounding traffic.
Yes, you can use GIS maps, shapefiles, or other real-world references to recreate road layouts as Road Traffic Library markup elements, such as roads, intersections, stop lines, parking lots, and bus stops.
You can model parking areas, drop-off zones, access points, public transport stops, and road networks while analyzing key KPIs such as travel time and distance, queue length, flow rate, and other performance indicators. Density maps can also help visualize where vehicle build-ups occur.
Road traffic simulation is used by city planners, transport engineers, logistics companies, airports, public transport operators, and infrastructure teams. In AnyLogic, road traffic can also be combined with other AnyLogic libraries to create multimodal transport simulation models.
