Title Simulation Model of Traffic in Smart Cities for Decision-Making Support: Case Study in Tudela (Navarre, Spain)
Year 2017

Abstract Traffic constitutes a key factor in a city. Thus, city layout, quality of services, pollution, products delivery, people transportation, and many other activities depend closely on traffic. The decision makers of a smart city should conceive ways for limiting pollution, fuel consumption, and transportation times, as well as accidents and disturbances to dwellers, to give a few examples. In order to achieve these objectives, decisions should be made on the appropriate configuration of the reachable degrees of freedom of the traffic system. However, the complexity of traffic systems, and the conflicting goals of the decision makers in a smart city, makes decision support systems a tool to be considered. In this paper one of such systems is described. It is based on the use of a simulation model for supporting the decision making by what-if experiments or by optimization. This model is developed using the paradigm of the Petri nets and is applicable for simulation and for structural analysis. The model is simple and can be easily adapted to different cities or road networks by adding to the model the layout of the city streets and roads, as well as some additional information such as traffic lights or number and type of vehicles.
