The goal of this project is to build up a traffic simulator to mimic the heterogeneous non-lane-based traffic of Dhaka city. Dhaka experiences non-lane based heterogeneous traffic stream, i.e., motorized and non-motorized vehicles, along with diversified road traffic behaviors such as irregular pedestrians, illegal parking, violation of laws pertaining lanes, etc. Existing traffic simulators are still unable to mimic the road traffic streams in Dhaka. Moreover, the existing simulators are not amenable to Dhaka’s road traffic behavior considering the diversification of the traffic and they lack in providing modification facilities to realize the diversification. This left us with no other way but to attempt for developing a specialized road traffic simulator for Dhaka city from the scratch.
