Been looking at this: http://www.caliper.com/transmodeler/TrafficControl.htm, and 3 things came to mind. 1) Google maps 2) my favorite arcade game of all time PACMAN 3) OOP With OOP, assuming you crafted a base object TCar with basic characteristics of a "Kenyan" motogari from which one could derive TBus, TLorry, TGistyCar, TRecklessCar, etc. with specific respective characteristics. Using the GMap of nairobi, as our playing field and instances of TCar and its descendants as our pacman and the gobblers, we could effectively create a simulator. For instance, a simulation of the last friday of the month, we could create 100000 instances of TCar descendants to simulate increased traffic. -- Lidede A.

looks interesting - (except for the pricing - http://www.caliper.com/transmodeler/Pricing.htm ) <http://www.caliper.com/transmodeler/Pricing.htm> Though if it is a large org doing this, that wouldn't be a problem. On Thu, Apr 16, 2009 at 11:15 AM, ndungu stephen <ndungustephen@gmail.com>wrote:
I like this one http://www.caliper.com/transmodeler/default.htm . This looks at the presentation end of the whole project, i guess...
Seems like the GIS guys have what we are thinking about - that is actually the final vision of how this thing may be presented to gprs capable phones... Our work will be to find a way to collect real time data from these roads, find a way to send them remotely and then present them like so...
The simulation thing looks good,,, next step in the test would be to collect data from the simulation and extract it to the remote system for distribution.
