Modeling Traffic Flows

[dchapman90 0]

Hello, I was interested in modeling a simple four way intersection in Simio. I was wondering what the best approach would be to simulating the traffic light and programming times in and what the best method to model the road would be. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Honestly, if you are just starting out with Simio...you are looking at utilizing a server per stop, with a secondary resource to act as the traffic light control mechanism.

Thanks for the reply! Yes I'm very new to Simio, but thought it would be the best tool to use this. I was looking at some of the Youtube videos to get an idea of how I might possibly model this. What do you mean when you say secondary resource?

Alternatively, you can use a Resource as the Control at the intersection.....
