Abstract
This study investigated how much the spread of traffic control information affect the traffic congestion in order to identify the behavior of the individual drivers that impacts on the entire transport system. For this purpose, agent-based transportation model was constructed. GIS data were directly used for the transportation model and the processing steps of the simulation results are presented. The results showed that the average speed was not lowered when the traffic information was provided to 30 to 70% of total drivers. In contrast, the driver's average speed is reduced when he traffic information was provided to less than 20% or 80% or more. In summary, the provision of traffic information to drivers has an influence on the traffic flow and bypassing vehicles can generate local congestion. This results can be used as a basis for the future direction of road transport policy.
