Abstract
This publication can be considered as consisting of two parts. The accent of the first part is on the simulation of vehicular traffic in general. The reasons for and background of simulation are discussed and the various methods, techniques and procedures commonly used are treated in detail.|The second part of the paper describes a computer program developed for the simulation of a ramp-freeway junction. The computer logic includes lane changing maneuvers on the freeway as well as the entering maneuver. Some of the output of the program are presented as evidence of its capability of representing the merging process realistically.
