== What is a Traffic Model ==
''From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia''
 
: A traffic model is a mathematical model of real-world traffic, usually, but not restricted to, road traffic. Traffic modeling draws heavily on theoretical foundations like network theory and certain theories from physics like the kinematic wave model. The interesting quantity being modeled and measured is the [[Traffic Flow (Overlay)|traffic flow]], i.e. the throughput of mobile [[units]] (e.g. vehicles) per time and transportation medium capacity (e.g. [[Constructions#Roads|road]] or lane width). Models can teach researchers and engineers how to ensure an optimal flow with a minimum number of traffic jams.
 
: Traffic models often are the basis of a traffic simulation.
 
== How does a Traffic Model relate to the Tygron engine? ==
: To better visualize traffic and its impact, for planning purposes in the Tygron Engine, three traffic aspects are simulated: Traffic Flow, [[Traffic NO2(Overlay)|Traffic NO2 Pollution]] and [[Traffic Noise (Overlay)|Traffic Noise]]. The general purpose is to simulate traffic impact and not the traffic logistics in an area.
 
== Traffic Models available in the Tygron Engine ==
 
: The Tygron Engine makes, by default, traffic based calculations for results such as the Traffic Flow overlay, the Traffic NO2 overlay and Traffic Sound Pollution. These calculations are based on many different data sets. These data sets are different for each location/ country.
 
=== Data Sources ===
: When creating a [[Main Menu#New Project|new project]] based on real data in the Tygron Engine, a standard traffic flow is generated for the project area, based on available (open) data sources. For the Netherlands these sources are:
 
:;NSL Monitoringstool:https://www.nsl-monitoring.nl/
:;PDOK RDW wegen:https://www.pdok.nl/nl/service/wfs-nwb-wegen-nationaal-wegen-bestand
:;INWEVA 2015:https://nis.rijkswaterstaat.nl/portalcontent/logon/p2_33.html
:;VI-Lucht & Geluid:https://www.infomil.nl/onderwerpen/klimaat-lucht/luchtkwaliteit/slag/hulpmiddelen/inschatten/
 
== How to add or edit a (custom) traffic model in the Tygron Engine ==
: Besides using the default traffic calculations, it is also possible to add a custom traffic model, better suited for the project case. A custom Traffic Model can be added directly as a static model, or as [[Areas|areas]] for a dynamic model.
 
: In order to upload a custom traffic model, it has to first be properly prepared as a Geojson file, in the correct coordinate system.

=== Adding a Static Custom Traffic Model ===
:''A static model does not change (over time), when changes occur in the 3D world. 
 
: To upload a Traffic Model directly as static data, a prepared Geojson file can be dragged and dropped on the [[Editor|Editor window]]. A panel appears, where the option "Import Building Values" needs to be selected. The Geojson file has to contain an attribute named 'TRAFFIC_FLOW" (vehicles/ hour), so that constructions that are touched by sections of the traffic data, are given the value of the attribute belonging to that section.

=== Adding a Dynamic Custom Traffic Model ===
 
:''A dynamic model changes (over time), according to changes in the 3D world.
 
: To create a dynamic Traffic Model, the same Geojson file can be used. In this case "Import Areas" is selected on the File Handler panel, in stead of "Import Building Values". The sections of the Traffic Model will then be assigned to the project as areas. Next an [[Excel|excel]] file can be added, for an [[indicator]] or [[overlay]], which updates [[Constructions|constructions]] dynamically. To change the Traffic Model, a [[TQL]] statement such as the following can be used:
::<code>UPDATE_BUILDING_TRAFFIC_FLOW_WHERE_AREA_IS_6</code> ''(This statement updates the attribute "TRAFFIC_FLOW" (vehicles/ hour) of constructions located in Area 6.)
 
The excel implementation of a light Dynamic Traffic Model as described above, consists of the following consecutive steps:
:* Retrieval of the original traffic density for constructions in Area X - <code>SELECT_BUILDING_TRAFFIC_FLOW_WHERE_AREA_IS_X</code>
:* Calculation in an excel file, with the new traffic density as outcome - <code>original traffic density + change</code>
:* Output of the new traffic density for constructions in Area X - <code>UPDATE_BUILDING_TRAFFIC_FLOW_WHERE_AREA_IS_X</code>
