Simulation of Non-Lane-Based Traffic

This is the visualization of a VISSIM simulation featuring non-lane-based traffic. Different vehicles with a variety of widths interact with each other and find their way wherever there is enough space to fit in -- no matter what the lane marking is like. At intersections, there is notable lateral movement and vehicles tend to use lateral gaps to reach the head of the queue. Traffic situations like this occur for example in India, China and some developing countries. The simulation of this kind of traffic is considerably more difficult than North American and Central European traffic due to consideration of lateral vehicle movements within the same lane.

@frvfilms Four way stops are not complex or difficult. It's just people are idiots.

wtf 1:05

Welcome to mumbai xD

[Iluya]

lol Looks like moscow streets. =) And black car (1:03) - too. )

1:03 black car cheating

Three easy solutions to the nightmare scenario shown here. Separate at junctions & give one lane over to cyclists. Invest at least as much in public transport infrastructure as in roads. Tax private motorists at a more reasonable rate, ending current subsides.

@PlebScrubber many problems would be solved like that. That is definitely the big problem is that the traffic that is turning across a lane doesn't have its own signal.

*right turn lanes in this case

[deltanalliance]

That's what they get for not having left turn lanes...

[Cineenvenordquist]

Why are the lanes marked at all? There's no approach behavior at all, either! The approach traffic to Guangdong capitals and Beijing is more fun, I think; though what happens when someone's load collapses or a muffler drops has some new rules...as always.

[PlebScrubber]

give the turning traffic a green arrow...

this is chaos

i see some cars driving thru other cars too
